Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan, Dutch oven, or preferably a clay pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, celery, bay leaves, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in mashed tomatoes and cook for 15 minutes over medium heat. Add fish. Pour in vinegar or wine. Cook until liquid has almost evaporated, about 10 minutes; pour in fish stock. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Gently mix in clams. Cook until clams have opened (discard any that don't open), about 2 minutes, and then stir in shrimp. Cook until shrimp are pink, about 3 minutes.
Place a slice of toasted bread in the bottom of each bowl. Ladle brodetto over bread and serve immediately.
