One of the highlights of summer is throwing together a big pot of shell fish stew on the grill, a gathering of friends around an outdoor table, crusty loaf, glass of wine, and the freedom of a warm sunny day. Doesn't get much better than that! And every time, I am amazed at how utterly easy and fast this feast cooks up, yielding an impressively aromatic kettle of ocean abundance. And the only accompaniment needed is a perfectly crusty loaf of fresh bread to soak up the briny tomato rich broth.
