Is there any seafood dish worth doing in the IP (other than seafood stock)? Octopus maybe?

I've done three seafood things in the IP. I can get good quality frozen chunks of tuna and salmon here. I put them, still frozen, any steamer basket and cooked them for one minute. The tuna I used in tuna salad in half an avocado and the salmon I used in salmon cakes. They were both cooked perfectly and delicious. The other was Cioppino. However I made the base in the pressure cooker and finished the seafood in the base on the sauté setting on low. Other than octopus and squid I can't think of anything that could stand up to a pressure cooker and I'm not fond of either of those. I would even hesitate to make stock made from shrimp shells because I think it would be cloudy.

Some things just aren't meant to be put in a pressure cooker.
