Yummy yummy in the tummy!! Best recipe EVER !!! It's different every time, even though I follow it to a T !!!

Very good mix of sea food

Delicious!! Easy to make, classy and hearty.

Modify with red, green onion, red wine, salmon cut into one inch cubes, rosemary, parsley.

I quite enjoyed this dish. Quite hearty

Made this dish using the recipe exactly as written. The broth is rich but missing the mark just a little. I will add saffron next go round. This is a keeper

Excellent! My husbands favorite. I added fresh basil and oregano also. Broth is sooo good.

Loved it. Luscious and yummy. I did the lobster bouillon too... was nice and thick instead of watery. Thanks

Outstanding and memorable dinner! Takes time and planning, but this isn't difficult. (I normally do BBQ, but was able to pull this off to many raves...)

Following were my adjustments:
- Added 1/2 tsp Cayanne pepper
- Used 1 can tomato paste
- 1/4 Cup Parsley
- 3/4 Tsp Bail
- 1/2 Tsp Oregano
- Lobster boullion rather than fish. (Check your local higher end supermarket)
- Cut back on salt to 1 Tsp
- Cut back on red pepper flakes to 1/2 Tsp

Simmered for 2 hours (to let the flavors set in - I did this because I started too early. :) ). For seafood I used a bag of mixed frozen seafood (Calamari, shrimp, mussels, scallops) from Costco; plus 2 frozen salmon steaks; 1 Halibut steaks; 1/2 Lb shrimp, 1 Lb scallops I pre-cooked to almost done on the grill. Put in calamari 1 hour before other seafood for tenderness. Cranked heat to high and brought to full boil, dumped in uncooked seafood for 5 min, then finally the pre-cooked mussels and served.

We doubled the above and it was enough for 12 generous servings. I would rate the Zesty at 1-2 stars. It had a little kick, but each piece of seafood still had a distinctive flavor.

I've eaten Cioppino at many places around the world including Italy, Spain, and Carribbean and I will humbly say that this is the best we've ever had. I wouldn't change a thing. I forgot to take a photo of the finished product. Since there were only 8 of us, I'm looking forward to leftovers tonight. :)

Almost identical to the way I make mine. In the true spirit of Cioppino, mine changes every time based on the seafood I have or procure at the time. One of my favorite meals!!

I didn't think I could pull this off, but it came out amazing and fed my girlfriend and for a whole week!

Will make again. May ease up on the red pepper next time. My girlfriend is sensitive to heat.

I used more red pepper for extra spice!

Excellent! Easy make and everyone loved it.
