Every country around the Mediterranean has some kind of big fisherman’s stew incorporating all the odds & ends of the day’s catch – Bouillabaisse (France), Zuppa di Pesce (Italy), Caldeirada (Portugal), Psarosoupa (Greece), etc. “Ciuppin” (meaning “to chop” or “chopped” in the Ligurian dialect), is a traditional seafood soup of Genoa, and a version of it became tremendously popular in San Francisco in the 1800’s. It’s now a classic SF staple, served with that city’s famous sourdough bread.
For my version, shrimps & scallops, clams & mussels join chunks of tender fish in a bright, chunky tomato broth with plenty of garlic, wine and basil. Served with fat, grilled, buttered wedges of T.O.'s best sourdough bread by Grant McPherson's Prairie Boy Bread. Fresh gluten-free herb focaccia by Nice Buns Bakery also available.
