chop the parsley and the celery leaves
put blue mussels and stripped Venus clams in two separated bowls for opening: for the blue mussels put  into the bowl a tablespoon of olive oil and cook 4 or 5 minutes at high heat, until opened
for the Venus clams add also a Pinch of parsley, one clove of garlic and 2 teaspoons olive oil
shell the prawn tails and boil for 1 minute or steam for 5 minutes
shell blue mussels and Venus clams, slice octopuses and put with prawn tails into a bowl
in the meantime boil the cuttlefish
