This was absolutely fantastic and better than any restaurant versions. We did melt some anchovy fillets into the olive oil before the garlicc and added some Florida stone crab claws along with blue mussels to the clams, scallops and shrimps combo. Next time I may add some Monkfish to the mix as well :-)

I don’t think there are seeds in those whole peeled tomatoes.
Yes there is
You can use passata sauce comes in a tall bottle near the tinned tomatoes, you can get it infused with garlic and. Basil too
Hi Rita,
You may want to double check but to the best of my knowledge as a nutrition major, it has been disproven individuals with diverticulitis can’t have seeds. Please look at the articles I have linked.

I plan to add about 1 cup of chopped fresh asparagus to this dish as I like more vegies.
Sure!
Hi Bryan, the recipe says 1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes and blend it in a food processor. That is your sauce.
