Instructions

 

• In a large stockpot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onions, parsley, and garlic, and cook and stir until the onions are softened, which usually takes around 3 to 4 minutes.

Cover the pot and let the mixture simmer for a delightful 30 minutes, allowing all the aromas to meld together.
• The seafood medley is what truly makes this dish shine. Stir in cod, shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, and crabmeat, ensuring they are all well incorporated. It’s time to bring the pot to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the clams open up, which typically takes about 5 to 7 minutes.
