The Best Cioppino Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

After a crazy week of running around, sometimes you need to calm down, take a deep breathe, and start cooking. Sundays are often my days to rejuvenate, relax and get ready for another crazy week ahead. My husband and I like to have alone time on Sunday evenings, so what could be better then cooking for him and making one of his favorite dishes: Cioppino.

For those who don’t know, “Cioppino” is an Italian seafood stew. It was developed in the late 1800s by Italian fishermen who settled in the North Beach section of San Francisco. Originally it was made on the boats while out at sea and later became a staple as Italian restaurants proliferated in San Francisco. It was made with the catch of the day plus any leftover seafood they had available.

For my version of cioppino, I use scallops, shrimp, calamari, mussels, and white fish. You can make the base ahead of time and add the seafood at the last moment. You can also make it as spicy as you’d like. I like my food spicy, so my cioppino was on the hotter side. This rich tomato-based stew tastes tangy and spicy and you could actually choose to serve it over pasta if you’d like. I like to serve it with a piece of toasted focaccia bread.
