Cioppino stew is one of those fishermen's delights that have been around in my family for over 100 years.
Back in the 1960s we only had this on Christmas Eve for the Feast of 7 Fishes.
Seafood was quite pricy for us back then and things were a struggle and on a strict budget, mom and grandma always kept that tradition.
If you have never heard of Cioppino which is an Italian fish stew, and love seafood, you're in for a treat.
The stew originated in San Francisco, California, and is a popular Italian-American dish served there.
Fish stew is also referred to as Bouillabaisse (Provençal fish stew originating from Marseille, France) usually with onions and fennel, this doesn't have that in the recipe.
The stew is brimming with fresh seafood in a tomato and wine broth that tastes like the sea and is very versatile on what you can add.
This is very rich in flavor and found in the most expensive Italian restaurants on the menu.
Cioppino is a medley of delicious seafood, and you can add whatever you love in the fish family.
This dish is easy to make and has a rich tomato base that is perfect for sopping up the sauce with warm garlic bread or over a big dish of your favorite pasta.
A traditional fish made every Friday and family favorite was Fried Haddock and I still make it.
This is no doubt a fisherman's hearty old-fashioned stew and total comfort meal.
