  2. Rinse any bloody parts of the fish, and sprinkle with salt. Chop the squid, and rinse the clams well.
  3. Cut the potato into thin quarter-rounds, chop the tomato, and julienne the other vegetables.
  4. Pour the olive oil in a pot, stir-fry the garlic over low heat until fragrant. Add all the vegetables except for the potato and tomato, and continue stir-frying.
  5. When the vegetables become soft and tender, and the volume decreases to half, turn up the heat to medium, and add the clams. Pour in the white wine, and evaporate the alcohol.
