  hours. Discard fish head and bouquet garni, reserving edible parts of
  fish head.
    Using fish stock, cook shrimps in their shells for 10 minutes or
  until they turn pink. Remove, discard shells and black veins, and
  reserve. Using the same stock, heat mussels or clams in their shell
  for 5 minutes or until shell open. Remove from stock, remove seafood
  from shells, and reserve seafood. Strain stock to remove any sand or
  shell particles.
    Use a little of the oil to saute onions, garlic, tomatoes,
  coriander, parsley and cayenne pepper just until vegetables soften,
  then add mixture to fish stock. Heat remaining oil and gently fry
  grouper steaks. remove skin and bones, break grouper into pieces and
  add to stock mixture along with crab, lobster, shrimp, mussels and
  edible part of grouper head.
