Begin by thoroughly cleaning the mussels and soaking the clams in cold water to remove any sand. Rinse and set them aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Sprinkle the paprika, cumin, and red chili flakes over the sautéed vegetables, stirring well to coat.
Pour in the fish stock and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and season with salt and black pepper.
Add the lime juice and cod chunks to the simmering broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes to begin lightly cooking the cod.
Carefully add the mussels, clams, and shrimp to the pot. Cover and steam for 7-10 minutes, or until all the mussels and clams have opened and the shrimp has turned pink and opaque.
Discard any mussels or clams that do not open during cooking.
Stir in the chopped cilantro, reserving a little for garnish.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or chili flakes as desired.
Serve the Puerto Rumba Steamer hot with crusty bread for dipping or over steamed rice. Garnish with additional cilantro before serving.
