Pound cilantro roots, garlic and chilies in a mortar or blender coarsely. Add sugar, lime juice, salt and blend well, set aside. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Put squids in a strainer, lower the strainer into the water and boil briefly just until the squids are cooked (DO NOT overcook). Lift the strainer up and drain well. Pour the squids into a mixing bowl and set aside. Bring the water to a boil again and repeat the boiling steps with the fish fillets and mussels. Combine the squids, fish, mussels and the dressing well. Add mints and celery leaves and mix briefly. Serve immediately, alone or with cooked rice (goes well with alcoholic beverages).
