About this recipe
Years ago I discovered an Italian-American version of fish soup in San Francisco called Cioppino. Cioppino dates back to the 1880s when Genoese fisherman began immigrating to the North Beach area of the city. The word cioppino comes from the Italian word ciuppin, meaning “to chop”, or “chopped”. It is a common word in the Ligurian Region of Italy which includes Genoa, where leftovers from the day’s catch were chopped and cooked in a tomato and wine broth. While Cioppino has become an iconic food in San Francisco, it is virtually unknown by that name anywhere else in the U.S.
This version of Cioppino uses my Spicy Marinara Sauce, which was inspired by my grandmother’s Tuna Fish and Anchovy Sauce. Ingredients
