1Heat oven to 400°F. Rinse all fish and pat dry with paper towel. Mince 2 cloves garlic, and halve remaining clove. Peel onion and cut into small dice.

2Heat olive oil and 1 packet butter in a large high-sided pan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and red chile flakes, if desired, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion and leek and sauté until softening, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add tomatoes and their juices to a medium bowl and crush tomatoes by hand.

3Add Pernod/white wine to pan with aromatics, scraping up any browned bits on bottom of pan. Cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add saffron, chicken broth, and tomatoes and their juices. Stir to combine. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then cover pan, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until flavors meld and reduced slightly, about 5 minutes.

4Season pollock on rounded sides with salt and black pepper. Uncover broth and nestle in pollock. Cover and simmer until pollock is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Uncover, add calamari and crab, and stir to combine. Simmer, uncovered, until crab is bright red and calamari is opaque, about 3 minutes.

5While fish cooks, halve bread lengthwise and spread remaining butter evenly over cut sides. Heat a medium pan over medium heat, then add bread cut-side down. Toast until light golden, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook about 2 minutes more. Immediately rub cut sides of bread with cut sides of halved garlic.
