Making cioppino tonight.
 

Post your hints, tips or recipes.

I have:

clams
crab
mussels
scallops
shrimp
squid
orange roughy

I'll be making this tonight to keep alive the wop tradition in my family. While not 7 separate fish dishes, I do have 7 fishes. :D

Merry Christmas!

The order of cooking is critical.

1. mussels
2. clams
3. crab
4. shrimp
5. scallops
6. roughy
8. squid.

Lots of Crusty BreadSmileWavy

I would have thought the shrimp and scallops would be towards the end. Not so?

.ps they're bay scallops - i.e. small

.pps the crab is cooked already (dungeness), so it will basically warm in there =)

Scallops with the squid then.

Another option is to cook everything separately and warm up everything in your sauce

The best tip I ever had for a good Cioppino is to use chicken stock instead of fish stock.

The chicken stock keeps the whole thing from becoming too fishy.

Yep.

I have that too =)

So what is the recipe for the sauce? ;)

Look up Guy Fieri's recipe. Chicken stock and the fish fillets go in last. That's all I know except that it looks good. As a 27 year vegetarian, I wouldn't know. ;)

Where is your house again and when is going to be ready?

I'll save some for you Tabs =)

Better double that recipe...remember the buffets in Lv fear me....

Not mine, but I like this presentation:)http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1230160060.jpg

Nice presentation.

But my wife doesn't like playing with the mussel shells while eating. So sometimes, I take the shells out at the end, pulse the whole thing through a blender, and then re-heat with a cup of very dry sherry. (Fino) It does the biz.

Needs a finish of fresh shredded Parmesan.....

Look for "Grandfather's Cioppino" - its on Epicurious. It has become a favorite.
