I am making Cioppino tonight. Anybody has any tips or recipes or anything else? This is my first attempt and I will have company...What was i thinking?

Are you using a C@H recipe? Just wondering, cuz I thought I saw one a few issues back. What kinds of fish you're using might make a difference in your cooking times. All in all it seems like it should be simple and tasty.
Hope your company just loves it!!

I would love to use C@H but but for the life of me cannot find the recipe. I went to asian market yesterday and bought a huge pile of seafood. Shrimps, mussells, clams, crab, octopus, white fish and something else...justt dont remember.

You don't want to overcook the fish. So, you can make the base ahead of time and hold it. Bring the temp up and add the various fishes at various times so that they are cooked at your service time.
Also, I understand that the traditional recipe is served over a crusty bread. We don't like it that way and serve the bread on the side.
Good luck and let us know how it goes for you.

Marina, one of the dinner review recipes is for a cioppino - but, I've not tried it yet.
I must say over the years I bet I've tried dozens of cioppino recipes and I've never found one that comes close to Fisherman's Wharf, so I have never kept one of them. darn.
IF you find the ultimate, please post it - I'm still on the hunt.

Basically I was thinking of using this recipe.

The only difference is that I did not buy the seafood in Shells..my clams and mussells are out of the shells already...dont know if it will make a diffence, when i had it in the restaurants always found it a pain in the #$#%#% to dig them out of there so I figured to try it this way.
