Preparation

Step 1

Serious Heat

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shallot with a pinch of salt and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, chili flakes, and oregano, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the tomatoes and stir until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down. Crush with a wooden spoon or potato masher. Add the red wine and adjust the heat to bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the seafood, cover, and cook until the cockles or mussels have opened (discard any that don't open within a reasonable time after the rest have opened), and stirring so that the fish breaks up. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
