Slow

Cooker; stir gently to combine. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, clam juice, wine, saf-
fron and dried basil. Place bay leaf, fennel seeds, peppercorns and parsley sprigs
in a  x -inch square of cheesecloth (or coffee filter) and tie securely with kitchen
twine. Add to pot. Cover and press the on/off button to turn the unit on. Set time
for  hours and press High. Once slow cooker switches to Warm set time for 
hours and press Simmer. Once time elapses, reset time for  hours and press Sim-
mer; the slow cooker will automatically switch to Warm when cooking time has
elapsed. At this point the sauce can rest on Warm until one hour before serving.
Raise heat to High, then add fennel slices; cook another 0 to 0 minutes. Add
mussels, shrimp, scallops and fish. Continue to cook about 0 to  minutes, or
until mussels are open, shrimp are pink, scallops and fish are opaque. Garnish with
chopped parsley and orange zest.
Ladle stew directly from the pot into warm soup bowls. Serve with crusty bread on
the side.
