Add the seasoned cod, cover, 2 minutes.
Add the sea scallops and shrimp, both seasoned w/salt and pepper.
Cover and simmer about 4 minutes.
Clams should be open. Fish just cooked.

I remove the fish and shellfish from the broth so it won't over cook.
However, just place fish and shellfish in a big bowl and ladle soup over.
