Clean fish. Rinse under cold water and cut into chunks.
In a large saucepan, simmer 3 cups water, 2 bay leaves,
shells and any fish head or fins to create a fish stock.
Chop
celery, carrot, ½ lg. onion and 2 cloves garlic.
Add to your fish stock. Add ½ tablespoon salt to
stock then simmer for 30 minutes. When stock is ready drain
it through a fine
strainer and put to the side.
Heat
6 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil and add the remaining onion,
minced garlic and squid. Blanch the tomatoes, let cool,
peel and dice. Simmer with the cup of dry white wine for
15
minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

the firmer fish (monk fish, sea bass and lobster) and potatoes
to the tomato mixture. Also add ½ of the fish stock
and simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
Add
the clams, (chopped and little neck) flounder, fluke and
the remaining stock. Simmer for 10 to 15 additional minutes.
Mince your fresh parsley and add to the chowder. Season
