I was positive you where going to put a few sardines in there. After all, you are the Cioppino Maestro in where you sardine flavors do go. Sry, my bad. It's a method not a recipe. :)
This is probably the most inspiring cooking channel on TH-cam because Chef John makes you believe you can be a chef...at least in your own home. Thanks, Chef John.
I made my own pot of Cioppino tonight... Delicious! I forgot to buy a crab, but I made it with clams, mussels, whole shrimp, and Chilean seabass, and it came out DELICIOUS! I ate 5 bowls all by myself; I just couldn't stop! Cioppino is truly a great dish with plenty of room for innovation, and Chef John's looks tantalizing!
Excellent point. I heard a story from a family owned restaurant that is reported to have been the first in SF to serve this stew. And as the owner told the story of his grandfather a fisherman, he and other fisherman after unloading would all contribute different ingredients and make this for a meal for themselves regularly. Supposedly the wine and tomato were the only things constant the rest depended on what was left from the catch.
This dish has endless variations, and I've both tried and made many of them. I have to admit I've loved them all. If the seafood is fresh, and the herbs and broth well-balanced, there is everything to love.
Chef John, we had the privilege last evening of our camp neighbor, who is a professional guide, share his freshly made cioppino that he made with dungenous crab and pacific rockfish he caught that day, plus some shrimp and clams from the local grocer. I’m sold-have to make this with our crab and clams from Siletz Bay (Oregon). Thanks for the recipe!
Phil's cioppino is the world's best. The sauce... which he sells... is the secret. There is an episode on the Food Network with Phil Digerolamo and Paula Deen's sons where Phil cooks THE Cioppino. I make it his way but now I'll have to try the chef John's way.
I just made this for Christmas dinner. It was a hit. Everyone enjoyed it, even the kids. It fed 4 adults and 2 kids no problem. I had left overs too. I went light on the red pepper flakes for the kids. Thanks for the recipe. I might even put this over some homemade pasta next time. I made homemade bread to dip in the sauce it was delish!!!!!
Sometimes I get really intense cioppino cravings. :-) It's easily one of my favorite dishes, and one of the countless reasons I feel so lucky to be a San Francisco native.
Tag from the future. I lived in S.F. for 14 years and tried every Cioppino in town. I came down to two. The Franciscan and Anchor Oyster Bar. Both added fresh. fennel bulb which made the world of difference. I am a guy with hypersensitive taste and smell. So, as a home cook you can just imagine how my world works. I recreated those dishes shortly after moving back to Chicago just by taste and I wasn't disappointed. However this recipe is great and I will use it this thanksgiving with my daughter.....Adding the fennel, and more crab 😂
Those cioppino dishes are great at the Franciscan restaurant at fisherman's wharf in SF, but also downtown on California street, Tadich Grill makes a truly amazing cioppino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍
Cioppino is a great dish and I agree with Chef John, don't cook it twice the same way. One of the great things about cooking is exploring variations. Cioppino benefits greatly from fresh local seafood so I use whatever is in season when I make it.
Hi, Chef John! I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Thank you for sharing these recipes with us - the commentary in your videos is always entertaining :)
I just made this and it was amazing! I used different kinds of seafood in mine; clam meat, mussels, catfish, and squid. I also added more pepper for added kick.
I cook this for Christmas every year. I use endive instead of celery. It has a distinctive sweet flavour that I find very important for this stew. But this year, I will use my homemade roasted red pepper purée as base. Looking forward to the result.
I have been making this more than once and believe me, it tastes just like the one from San Francisco! Great taste and way cheaper than the one from the Pier, if you are close to San Francisco I recommend you to buy the delicious sour dough bred so you can really enjoy this delicious recipe!
This is restaurant quality deliciousness. Left out the butter, chili flake (accidentally), and worchestire and STILL amazing. One recommendation would be to add the cod later rather than first because it cooked too quickly and turned into fine pieces. It still tasted great but I wanted larger pieces of fish. Also, I highly recommend getting fish stock - I didn't need to add any salt to the dish.
I am originally from the east coast, Maryland in fact, great seafood, however I lived in San Francisco for 15 years and ate a lot of Cioppino while I was there. I have to say this recipe is the real deal when it comes to S.F. Cioppino.
It looks good! it probably taste good too; then again you make everything look good and taste good. Thank you for sharing and also for the good humor. As always.......... I enjoyed the show!
My first experience of Cioppino was at the now defunct Fulton's Crab House in Orlando. It was infused with a touch of saffron and absolutely delicious. Bread is an absolute must with this dish. This recipe looks awesome and I can't wait to try it! Thanks Chef John! Ciao!
Thanks Chef. Halfway through I was thinking a loaf of Boudins. Can't wait to try this for New Years dinner. With a side of candied bacon perhaps? LOVE THE VIDS, YOU'RE THE BEST!
Fun fact : Cioppino comes from Ciuppin a typical Italian (Ligurian) dish. Sailors used to be in Sf back in the early days as shipwrighters and they took with them their favorite recipe.
Chef John. I've always enjoyed your recipes. But can you explain how the crab is eaten? Does one use scissors beforehand and remove the shells? Also isn't fennel an important ingredient, as well as clams? I'm verklempt.
I've been rummaging around looking at different fish soup recipes and have noticed that there are a lot of similarities between cioppino, Manhattan style chowder, and bouillabase, especially the Mediteranian style. Thicken it with a roux and toss in some okra and bell pepper and gumbo is in town. I may try all of them just to figure out what those subtle little differences are. Cheers!
Fantastic recipe! No more bottles of cioppino sauce. Thank you Chef John! Could you make a egg drop soup video that is thick and rich w/veggies. Like American/Chinese restaurants? Thanks again!
if i knew i was going to have a last dish, based on old age, this would be my farewell dish~ served with a bowl of clam chowder or chowda~ we eat our bomb cioppino @ the original fish company in los alamitos,ca! SUPER BOMB!!

Looking to make this for super bowl Sunday since the niners are playing! How many does the recipe serve?

I put octopus or squid in mine as well in place of the crab.

OMGoodness, just in time for my daughter coming Saturday for dinner on my 75th birthday I just asked my husband to get sourdough bread. Thank you
Had cioppino at Phil's Fish Market down at Moss Landing near Monterey and told myself I have to TH-cam the recipe. Thank you!
7amly- We have been at Phil’s three times when we drive up from the southern CA to the Bay Area. My family love their cioppino so much!

We had cioppino every Christmas eve in Monterey. I don't know if we got the fish from Phil's or the Wharf, but it was a family tradition.
Best cioppino
That’s the first time I ever had it at the same place at moss landing it was delicious
John is my favorite, his voice hypothesis me...king of smooth

Sorry for all the periods my keyboard needs repairing

At which point do you add the fennel? During the initial saute with the onions and celery?

Haven’t tried it but love your way of cooking.
I'm dying here - a glorious Cioppino, and San Fran sourdough, too? Mmmmmm...! Heaven on earth. :-)

5 STARS! and a really great recipe to end the year. Many thanks again for sharing with the rest of us Chef, Happy New Year!

Wow. 14 years. Any chance you'll revisit this?
AWW MAN THAT LOOKS WONDERFUL!
I can smell it. I can taste it! The wine really is an extra appetising idea. Thanks for the inspiration.
I have never made it the same twice but loved them all.

My dad makes the best crab cioppino in all the West coast. We would have it every time our family would go on vacation to the beach!
I just made this recipe tonight. It’s REALLY good.
I really love it with the addition of the dangerous crab.
Cioppino,the other San Francisco treat!!
