Cioppino


One of our favorites..Cioppino, which is a wonderful fish stew made from a plethora of our offshore favorites. The only way to do this one right is to have plenty of people around, that being said Wendy's sister's family was in for the weekend and they are seafood lovers so we swung by the fish market for Clams, Mussels, Squid, Shrimp, Salmon, Halibut and even a Dungeness Crab. Good thing Julian was here as I don't think I could have shelled all the Shrimp or picked over the Clams and Mussels. Since I make my own Fish Stock, I just went to the freezer for a few quarts, into the pantry for Tomatoes. Onions, Celery and the biggest Fennel Bulb I can find. Cook down all of the veggies, and some White Wine, the stock and tomatoes for a delicious broth, then add the Crustaceans, then the rest of the fish. Served a heaping bowl along with Anchovy-Garlic Toasts.
