Cioppino (seafood stew)

Cioppino Recipe Seafood Stew

This is an easy to prepare and delicious beyond belief.You can use whatever seafood you have available to you. The recipe is not precise so feel free to change up the ingredients as you like. Most important is to select a fish that will not fall apart when cooked. Place the fish on top and let it poach in the steam. At the end, spoon the sauce over the fish and serve.
