Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse all seafood under cold water. Pat dry the fish fillet, shrimp, and octopus. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Broth

    In a large pot, add 1 liter of water and bring to a boil. Add the mussels and cook until they open. Remove from pot and set aside, reserving the broth.

  3. 3

    Steaming the Fish

    In a large steaming basket, arrange the fish fillet at the bottom. Layer the crab, shrimp, and octopus on top. Pour in reserved mussel broth to steam and add salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Steam

    Cover and steam the seafood mixture over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily and the shrimp turn pink.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Carefully remove the steaming basket. Serve the sudado especial hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
