  1. Chef John, In your directions you state to use a “large Dutch oven” how many quarts is that. I don’t own one, so I have to buy one. Also, you state 2 cups white wine, can you suggest one for me, again I know nothing about wine. Looks delicious. I can’t wait to try. Thanks

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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 😂
