    Method: 

    In a very large pot (at least 10 quarts), combine 8 cups water, spice mix, salt, potatoes and onion. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat; boil until potatoes just begin to become tender when pierced with a knife, about 5 minutes. Remove lid and layer in corn, clams, mussels and shrimp. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cover pot and cook until clams and mussels open and shrimp are just cooked through, about 10 minutes.

    With a slotted spoon, transfer seafood to a platter and corn, onions and potatoes to another bowl or platter. (Discard any clams or mussels that do not open.) Pour a few cups of the liquid from the pot over seafood and sprinkle both platters with parsley.
