Preparation

Slice squid into rings; cut tentacles in half. Slice shrimp in half lengthwise. Place scallops in sieve to drain excess liquid. Drain tomatoes, reserving 1/2 cup/ 125 mL of juice; seed and chop tomatoes. Set aside.

In large skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; sauté onion, fennel and garlic until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and reserved juice, orange rind and juice, vinegar, salt and pepper; cook until thickened, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to bowl.

Add remaining oil to skillet and increase heat to high; add fennel seeds and fry until lightly browned, about 20 seconds. Add squid, shrimp and scallops; sauté until shrimp are pink, 2 or 3 minutes. Stir in sauce and olives; bring to boil. Cook, stirring, until seafood is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fennel fronds.
