Spaghetti Marinara

You can definitely substitute snapper with other white fish like cod or haddock. Anything with a similar texture and mild flavour that will blend in well with the marinara sauce and other seafood. Ask your local fishmonger for a fish that is firm enough to hold its shape after cooking.

Feel free to add more sliced red chillies or a pinch of dried chilli flakes into the oil along with the chillies and garlic when frying. Make sure to taste throughout as the heat intensifies as you cook.

Mussels or clams are common to see in a marinara. Be sure to de-beard them and add the mussels directly to the simmering marinara when the sauce is almost done. Cover the pot with a lid and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the mussels open. Discard any unopened mussels. You could also experiment with using octopus.
