In a small bowl, using a fork, break up crab meat and mix it with parsley.
1 lb. fresh crab meat, 2 tbsp. parsley
In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute the shallots in the olive oil for about 3 minutes. Add the wine and allow the mixture to simmer for several minutes.
4 shallots, 3 tbsp. olive oil, ½ cup white wine
Turn up the heat and stir the tomato paste into the stock. Mix well to ensure that the paste does not clump. Also, add the bay leaves and thyme. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 20 minutes.
2 tbsp. tomato paste, 2 bay leaves, 2 tsp. dried thyme, 2 cups fish stock
Season with salt and pepper.
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place the crab meat in a large bowl. Remove the bay leaves from the sauce and pour over the crab. You may choose not to use all the sauce, depending on how much liquid you would like in your stew.
