Before You Begin
Our favorite clam juice is Bar Harbor Clam Juice. Note that we call for the hard, Spanish-style variety or chorizo here, not the soft, fresh Mexican kind.
Instructions
- Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chorizo and onion and cook until both are lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in garlic and 1 teaspoon oregano and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and their juice and clam juice, scraping up any browned bits, and bring to simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Pat shrimp and cod dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Gently stir seafood into stew and cook until opaque and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 teaspoons oregano and season with salt and pepper to taste. Portion stew into individual bowls and drizzle with extra oil. Serve.
