I am reposting the Cioppino recipe from the day that we filmed Andaluces por el Mundo en casa. I add a shallot to the original recipe and change the amount and type of fish. I don't add crab to cioppino. I think that fresh crab is best eaten with butter, not tomato sauce! (Plus it's not crab season again until November.)

yum. I have never eaten it but have seen it a lot. I thought it was italian, but spanish too I guess.
What did you film this for??
Cioppino is Italian! And very typical of San Francisco's North Beach district. I think there are a lot of similar fish stews in the Mediterranean: the sopa de peix of Catalunya, for example, and the bouillabaisse of Marseille. We will be in an episode of Andaluces por el mundo in the fall, when they feature San Francisco. I'll post a link here when we get a date.
