In a large skillet or pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes.

Add Liquids
Pour in the white wine and cook until it's mostly evaporated. Then add the fish stock gradually, one cup at a time, stirring constantly until the rice absorbs the liquid.

Incorporate the Seafood
After about 10 minutes of cooking, add the shrimp, mussels, and calamari to the rice. Stir well to combine and continue to cook until the seafood is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
