To the saute pan, add 1 bunch of coriander (tied 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 chiles. 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.
