Using a spoon, push the clams to one side,then sprinkle the flour into the base of the pot and stir to make a thin,smooth paste. One at a time, add the mussels,shrimp,scallops and sherry and simmer until the sherry evaporates,about 3 minutes.Pour in the clam juice or fish stock and the asparagus juice. Simmer until the mussels and clams are fully opened and the shrimp and scallops are opaque,about 5 minutes more. Season to taste with salt. At the restaurant, this is served in the pot and spooned over rice.
