- Heat the oil in a very large pot over medium heat.

- Stir in tomato paste.
- Add tomatoes with their juices, wine, fish stock, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the flavors blend and the bitterness of the tomatoes dissipates, about 60 minutes.

- Add the shrimp, crab, and fish. Simmer gently until the fish and shrimp are just cooked through, stirring gently, about 5 minutes.

- Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the top, and serve with garlic bread for dipping.
