together), all of the clams, and the grilled tomatoes.
Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil.

Add 2 cups of heated fish stock, cover, and steam
to open the clams (about 5 minutes). Replenish fish
stock as needed to keep ingredients covered.

Add the angler fish, lime juice (to taste), and
chilies. If necessary, add more coriander and roasted
garlic. Continue cooking for 2 minutes, then bring to
a rolling boil and add mussels.

(Note: Mussels open quickly.)

Add the remainder of the fish (tuna or cod), then
lobster, shrimp, oysters, and squid. (Note: All fish
should have the skin removed and be cut into 1-inch
cubes.)

Remove tied bunch of coriander, then cook covered
for 2-3 minutes and serve.

Garnish with fresh coriander.
