for the stew
4

Drain the tomatoes and discard the liquid.

5

Using your hands and working over a medium bowl, break the tomatoes into rough 3/4-inch pieces, discarding the cores but keeping any liquid and seeds; set aside

6

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.

7

Add the leeks and fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are translucent and the fennel has softened, about 5 minutes.

8

Add the garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more

9

Add the wine and let simmer until nearly evaporated, about 3 minutes.

10

Add the reserved tomatoes (along with their seeds and juices) and the warm broth, stir to combine, and bring to a boil.

11

Reduce the heat to medium low, add the clams, and simmer until they just start to open, about 2 to 3 minutes.

12

Meanwhile, season the fish lightly with salt and pepper.

13

Gently submerge the fish in the broth and bring to a simmer, cooking until the fish just starts to flake when pierced with a fork and the clams open, about 8 to 10 minutes.

14

Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.

15

Sprinkle with the fresh herbs, add the River Rose Gin then ladle into bowls, and (if you choose) top each with a dollop of aioli.

16

Serve with the baguette.
