Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Drain and reserve liquid, discard solids.

For the soup:
Heat oil in large saucepan or dutch oven. Add parsley, sage, chilie flakes and minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. (careful not to burn). Add calamari and octopus, stir and cook about 4 minutes until seafood is opaque.
Add Tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add 1 cup of reserved stock, sugar and vinegar.
Stir, simmer open until all liquid is evaporated, about 20 minutes.
Stir in tomatos with juice, season with ground pepper and simmer 10 minutes, then add 3 cups of fish stock, simmer another 10 minutes.
Add Haddock, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add shrimp and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add more stock if the soup is too thick at this point, Taste for seasoning, season with salt and pepper if needed, but do not stir too much so it doesn't break up the seafood.
Add scallops and scatter mussels over top, cover and simmer another 5-10 minutes, until mussels have opened. Ladle into 8 bowls.
