  1. Great! Now, I gotta go get sourdough because obviously, Ciabatta won’t work, dang nabit!!! And, where’s the fennel? Why no fennel?

  2. Chef John, we had the privilege last evening of our camp neighbor, who is a professional guide, share his freshly made cioppino that he made with dungenous crab and pacific rockfish he caught that day, plus some shrimp and clams from the local grocer. I’m sold—have to make this with our crab and clams from Siletz Bay (Oregon). Thanks for the recipe!

  3. This is restaurant quality deliciousness. Left out the butter, chili flake (accidentally), and worchestire and STILL amazing. One recommendation would be to add the cod later rather than first because it cooked too quickly and turned into fine pieces. It still tasted great but I wanted larger pieces of fish. Also, I highly recommend getting fish stock – I didn't need to add any salt to the dish.

  4. As a seafood fanatic, I really appreciate your sharing this recipe. I've done similar stews and will be doing this soon!

  5. OMGoodness, just in time for my daughter coming Saturday for dinner on my 75th birthday I just asked my husband to get sourdough bread. Thank you

  6. Chef John. I've always enjoyed your recipes. But can you explain how the crab is eaten? Does one use scissors beforehand and remove the shells? Also isn't fennel an important ingredient, as well as clams?
    I'm verklempt.

  7. Fun fact : Cioppino comes from Ciuppin a typical Italian (Ligurian) dish. Sailors used to be in Sf back in the early days as shipwrighters and they took with them their favorite recipe.

  8. Chef John, In your directions you state to use a “large Dutch oven” how many quarts is that. I don’t own one, so I have to buy one. Also, you state 2 cups white wine, can you suggest one for me, again I know nothing about wine. Looks delicious. I can’t wait to try. Thanks

  9. Beautiful!! I love Cioppino. You are so right about it being a special occasion serve. Thanks as always for sharing

  10. Chef, i just made an unbelievably delicious dish I am calling "chowpino" it is a hybrid of fish chowder and cioppino. a deliciously smooth and creamy yet "tomatoey" spicy bowl of unbelievable! I'm sure you can duplicate such a dish without my input (recipe) so I strongly suggest you try it out! just great and with good bread, should be illegal!

  11. pretty close to mine , but we serve ours over penne pasta covered with grated cheese . the seafood melts the cheese into the pasta then add as much sriracha hot sauce as you can stand . it's supposed to be spicy . we use a bag of seafood medley and whatever local fish we can get .

  12. Love Cioppino. Heart broken SF has fallen to a point where Fisherman’s wharf has fallen into crime alley 😢

  13. Story 1: The Mother of the disabled child needs to go after the child's Father for benefits and support. There is nothing wrong with her (OP) wanting her money back, especially if she can get paid before the distribution of other assets to the others. Then whatever is left can be divided into 4 equal shares, including hers. She might be financially stable now, but futures are uncertain. Speaking as someone who unexpectedly was unable to work for 18 months, things change and it sounds like she's the only one expected to contribute to her Sister. That's garbage.
