Pike Place market Seafood Soup/stew

Whenever I'm in Seattle, I feel like I have to take advantage of the availability of the fresh seafood.  Mom and I stopped by the market and picked up some goodies for a improvised soup: salmon and mahi-mahi chunks, calamari, and clams.  We also found some Jerusalem artichokes -- my first experience cooking with them.  They have the texture of potato and flavor of garlic and artichoke.



I won't give the full play-by-play for this soup since it's been a couple of weeks and I've forgotten exactly what we did, but to make the stock for this dish, I simmere/steamed  the clams in a cup or 2 of water.  All in all, I think it turned out fantastic.
