- Make the stock: bring the water to a boil and add all of the stock ingredients. Cover, lower heat and simmer 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, soak the clams in a bowl of cold salted water. Toss the fish fillets in the flour and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and fry until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and parsley and simmer a few more minutes.
- Strain out the fish stock using a colander. Add to the onion mixture in the saucepan, bring to the boil and add the floured fish fillets skin-side up. Cook until they firm up then flip skin side down. Add the clams (discarding the soaking water).
- The clams should open and the fish become easy to flake with a fork at about the same time. Discard any clams that do not open. Serve with halved hard-boiled eggs and a few stalks steamed asparagus.
