In a hot large saute pan coated with olive oil, saute garlic and ginger.

Add mussels and clams and cook until they start opening. Deglaze with wine and add fish and remaining cup of stock. Add the snow peas 30 seconds before fish is cooked through.

For the Thai Bird Chile Aioli: In a food processor, add yolks, chiles, and garlic and puree. Slowly drizzle in oil to emulsify. Add juice and season.
