1In the open cataplana (or a wide pot), render the presunto/bacon in olive oil, 3 minutes.
2Add the onions, peppers and garlic; soften 6–7 minutes.
3Add the tomato and wine; simmer 5 minutes into a rustic base.
4Nestle in the fish chunks; cover and steam 6 minutes.
5Add the shrimp and clams; cover and cook until the clams open, 5–7 minutes.
6Shake the cataplana gently (never stir hard — the fish must stay whole).
7Open at the table, finish with cilantro and raw olive oil; serve straight from the cataplana.
