Puree using an immersion blender until smooth. Cut sea bass into roughly 1 1/2-inch chunks to match the other seafood in size. Place sea bass, shrimp, calamari, mussels, and clams in individual dishes so they're ready to use. Melt butter and olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced fennel, garlic, and salt; cook and stir until garlic takes on color, about 1 minute. Stir in white wine. Let simmer until reduced by about half, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomato broth base; bring to a boil and cook until fennel is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Stir in parsley, sea bass, shrimp, and calamari. Add clams and mussels. Cover, increase heat to high, and cook until clam and mussel shells open and sea bass, shrimp, and calamari are opaque, about 5 minutes. Transfer to warm serving bowls. Garnish with reserved fennel fronds and serve. Chef's Notes You can use fresh tomatoes instead of canned; toss in a teaspoon of sugar if they aren't sweet enough. Also, feel free to use fish stock or clam juice instead of water.Since we don't season the fish and shellfish directly, be sure your brothy base is aggressively seasoned before you add your seafood.Any firm white fish will work, such as halibut or cod.
