Seafood Curry with Ella's Olive Toasted Sesame Garlic and Ginger Oil

This is one of my family's favourite, easy, quick and all in one pot. If you have an Asian market nearby, it makes it even easier. You can also substitute chicken thighs instead of seafood.

Seafood ( 1 lb of each: mussels, scrubbed and beards removed, scallops, x-large shrimp, cleaned/deveined), 1 medium size filet of firm white fish ( cod, halibut, rockfish) cut into large pieces.
