Brodetto alla vastese

Brodetto alla Vastese is a traditional dish hailing from Vasto. This fish soup is made with a combination of onions, olive oil, green bell peppers, parsley, garlic, tomatoes, and water. The sauce should have a brothy consistency. It's combined with fresh mixed seafood such as cod, shrimp, sole, calamari, mussels, and different types of white fish. When the fish is cooked, this brodetto variation is ready to be served, ideally piping hot and accompanied by a few slices of bread to mop up the sauce.
