1
Build a fire in your grill, leaving about 1/3 of grill free of coals.
2
Rub fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
3
When coals are covered with gray ash and fire is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above coals for 3 to 4 seconds), put chourico on grill cut-side down, just along edge of coals.
4
Put remaining oil and the garlic in a disposable foil pan and place on grill over part with no coals.
5
Stir occasionally so garlic does not burn.
6
Put fish fillets on grill flesh-side down, directly over coals.
7
Put clams on grill directly over coals.
8
As clams open, place them in the pan with the oil and garlic.
9
When chourico is nicely seared (about 5 minutes), place it in same pan.
10
After 5 minutes, flip fish and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until it is opaque throughout.
11
Add tomatoes and wine to pan, season with salt and pepper, and move pan directly over coals; continue to cook for 2 minutes.
12
Halve each piece of chourico crosswise.
13
Divide clams, chourico and fish among four shallow bowls, squeeze lemon over top and sprinkle with parsley.
