Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the diced red bell pepper and halved cherry tomatoes to the pot, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
3. Pour in the white wine and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
4. Add the fish stock to the pot and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes if using.
5. Once simmering, add the prawns, mussels, and white fish chunks. Cover the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open and the fish is cooked through.
