Put the lid on and cook for 6-8 minutes until the mussel and clam shells have opened, the prawns are cooked and the fish is flaky.
Toast the bread, rub lightly with the halved garlic clove and drizzle with olive oil.
Serve the stew scatted with chopped coriander leaves, and use the toasts for dunking.
