Best Cioppino Recipe (Seafood Stew)
Report
This recipe for Authentic Cioppino is a classic San Francisco seafood stew that's loaded with clams, shrimp, mussels, crab, and white fish in a flavorful herbed tomato broth. It's warm, cozy and perfect with a big hunk of sourdough and a crisp glass of wine. It's an impressive dish that's far easier to make than it looks!

Notes
- Since the seafood adds a lot of natural saltiness to this dish, be careful not to add too much salt when seasoning. Go light with the sea salt until the end when you can taste it and decide if it needs more.
- The order of adding the seafood to the pot is important so that it all cooks perfectly.
- The key to a great cioppino is serving it right when the fish is cooked. The fish and shellfish only need a few minutes to cook, and overcooking will make it tough and dry instead of tender and succulent seafood.
- Swap any of the seafood recommended for more of your favorites. This dish is very customizable, so add more or less seafood as you wish!
