Good seafood soup recipe?
I would like to know a good recipe for seafood soup. I want to use clams, shrimp, lobster(maybe), and some sort of fish. I would like it to be sorta like a Frogmore stew. Suggestions for a good fish would be appreciated. I love salmon but I don't know if all these different types of seafood would clash flavor-wise. Please help.

Frogmore Stew is a big boss and one of my faves. Now while leaning toward posting my absolute personal aave of gumbo, cioppino (http://whatscookingamerica.net/Soup/Cioppino.htm) or bouillabaisse(http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/bouillabaisse/) maybe give you more of the broth type liquid as opposed to the roux style that you would desire.
Honestly if you only put on a pot of water and a bag of crab boil, I would still probably eat everything you listed for your soup.
What you want is called a chowder; it uses the catch of the day.
Cook 5 strips of bacon diced on medium heat until almost crisp.
Add 1 lg chopped onion, cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
Dice 4 cups of peeled potatoes, boil in 3/4 cup water & clam liquid.
Add bacon mixture, drained clams, shrimp, lobster, crab, etc.
Any kind of whitefish will work, salmon is too delicate I think.
These should be previously cooked separately by the way.
Pour in 3 cups of milk, optionally add small can of evaporated milk.
Thicken with 1 cup of potato flakes if desired.
Cook on medium heat about 10 minutes, stirring, do not boil.
Use 1 tbsp seafood bouillon powder or 1/2 cup of vegetable stock.
Garnish with parsley or cilantro, salt & pepper to taste.
