Instructions
Drain the clams in a colander and rinse them under cold water to remove any cornmeal.
Heat enough oil to coat the bottom of a heavy 4- to 5-quart pot over medium-low heat.
Add the garlic and cook, shaking the pan once or twice, just until the garlic starts to take on color, about 3 minutes. Dont let it get too dark.
Slip the clams into the pan with the garlic, pour in the wine, and bring it to a boil. Cover the pot and cook just until the clams open, about 5 minutes.
Heat enough oil to generously coat the bottom of a wide, heavy skillet over medium heat until rippling. While the oil is heating, season the cod fillets generously with salt and pepper and roll them in the flour to coat on all sides. Tap off any excess flour and lay the cod in the oil. Cook, turning the fillets once, until they are golden brown and barely opaque in the center. The clams will open while the cod is cooking; turn off the heat and let them stand until you need them. Discard any clams that dont open.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes over the clams and shake the pot a little so they settle in. Scatter the cilantro over the clams.
Let the mixture stand just a minute or two to warm the tomatoes through.
Drain the fish fillets on paper towels and transfer them to shallow bowls. (Warming the bowls first is a nice touch.) Spoon some of the clams, tomatoes, and broth around each fillet and serve hot.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Mark West Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
Mark West Pinot Grigio
Crisp and clean, this wine features honeydew, stone fruit, and citrus with a subtle, clean, lingering finish.Try pairing with good old fish and chips, summer salads, and steamed clams by the dozen...or dozens.
