Cioppino, the famous fish stew invented down on Fisherman’s Wharf by the immigrant fishermen from Liguria and Sicily is a perfect Italian Christmas Eve meal.
The local tale is that when the boats were all in a big cauldron was put over a fire to cook the tomato broth. After selling their catch, the fisherman one by one would bring whatever fish were leftover on their boat. They “chipped in” and the dish they all shared on the wharf got its name. More likely the name is derived from the classic Ligurian dialect for the fish stew found around Genoa, “ciuppin”.
This is an easy no mess recipe. Everything cooks in one pot. You can have cioppino on your table in way less than an hour. The briny seafood swims in a sweet rich San Marzano tomato bath. My favorite bite is dunking my garlic bread in the brothy sea-scented sauce.
Make sure you have plenty of napkins for your guests. You will get a little messy eating the crab and shrimp still in the shell.

Have a hangover from drink faar too much my body couldnt handle…This would be so soothing right now 🤤
Sir next time you make this DISH, sear your SHRIMP
In a hot pan with
Salt pepper
Fresh garlic
Dont cook them fully
Just sear them then get that deep orange color then ADD them to your pot
Do the same with your SCOPLOPS sear them in a hot pan with OLIVE oil and butter
Flip them over then add them to the POT
Yes it's more work but dude your SCOLOPS and SHRIMP are not only gonna look better the flavor will be crazy amazing
Gianni I love all your recipes. But we need new stuff. Please!!!
Finally someone who knows how to make a real Italian fish stew. Love the hint about mussels. I did not know that. Grew up a Davi in the bay area, with family in Montery and SF. Father was a fisherman, so I was spoiled. Thank you for sharing the correct way to make Cioppino. So great to have on Christmas Eve. I love anytime
OMG Im Now Salivating and it's almost June. Where is the French bread with Garlic. 🙂
Hello Johnny , I’m not sure if you’re still around, but when I heard of the fire I thought of you. You taught me years ago from this video how to make a wonderful Italian cioppino. Wishing you well my brother. Love your Way
When I see your videos I wish I was invited t dinner. Ciao!
Needs more camera zoom
You sound like a old school San Francisco firefighter! 🙂
Hey Johnny, haven’t heard from you in a while. What’s going on my brother? You OK? Stay safe and happy summer
Gianni – no salt no pepper?
Just put the camera in his mouth why don't ya. Its.like watching Tony Soprano eat
I really really want to make this ( Problem – onion allergy) – how can I modify the stew so I don't die?
Hey Gianni, your Cioppino is 5****. Thumb up and *Like for you.
Thanks, what I found most handy about this video is seeing you eat it.. I’d have no idea what to do if it was served to me. Now I see, just get in there and go for it!
Thank you for this delicious recipe! Good health 👨🍳👏👏👌
Let the Korean and chinese ladies show you how to clean mollusks.

@8:25 does anyone know the name of the song please
Nice recipe, nice down to earth San Francisco gentleman. You make it look so easy. Ima make it for Christmas Eve
No fish stock?
Thank you for the yummy recipe
No wine? No fish stock?
It seems Delicious.
Well Done!
First time I ate this was in a San Fran Italian restaurant near the wharf. Oh my. Best dish I have ever tasted.
This is by far the best cioppino recipe I’ve seen online. And for good reason, since it comes from the City itself.
Yummy…. you didn't dip the bread ..
I use about 4,000 times as much garlic!!!! No vampires allowed!!!
Funnyman ……Spain has been eating Seafood Stew forever. Therefore, how could It have come from San Francisco!? It is originally
a Mediterranean dish.
What is so frustrating about this dish is that you need relatively small quantities of a lot of somewhat expensive ingredients. I honestly wonder how this would taste with one of those medleys of frozen seafood you see in the grocery.
Cut your fingernails! Lol
It was actually invented in Southern France not San Francisco
You forgot the wine
Je pense faire cette recette que je connaissais sans plus ( a travers 2 films et series )) bref ou pourrais je avoir une tres bonne documentation sur cette recette inventé et faites par des italiens en californie…j'ai quelques renseignements bienventendu! Mais un peu plus me ferait plaisir…j'attends donc une reponse de vous meme? Ou des personnes qui ont repondu a votre recette….merci a tous
