2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 (16 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, undrained
1 cup dry white wine

Directions

1 Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2 Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and pepper flakes; cook and stir until onion is soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute.
3 Increase heat to medium-high; add potatoes, tomatoes, and white wine. Bring to a simmer; cook, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes. Add fish stock; return to a simmer.
4 Nestle white fish into broth; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add clams, shrimp, and calamari; simmer until shrimp are pink and clams have opened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and discard any unopened clams.
5 Off heat, stir in basil, parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice; season with salt and black pepper.
