       Set aside the lobster.  Add the squid and saute a few seconds.
2)   Then add the onion and cook 5 minutes until it is soft and
       slightly brown.  You may need to add a little water to prevent
       it from burning.
3)   Add the garlic and the tomato.  Keep cooking until the tomato
       becomes a nice red deep color.
4)   Add the fish stock and bring to a boil.  Season with salt.  Make
       sure it is a bit salty...because when the rice is added, the dish
       will balance.  Add the rice.  Cook for 5 minutes at a high
       flame.  Move the paella with a wooden spoon.  Add the lobster
       on top and then bring the flame down...but keeping a slow boil.
       Cook for 10 more minutes.
