Method
Cook garlic, onions, bay leaf, oregano, and red pepper flakes with salt and pepper in oil in an 8-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and boil until reduced by about half, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice, clam juice, and broth and simmer, covered, 30 minutes. In a hot large braising pan, sear cod loins for 4 minutes on one side. Flip cod and add remaining seafood. Slowly add stew base and simmer until mussels have opened and cod is cooked through. Serve with crusty bread. Garnish with parsley and oregano leaves.
