Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Pour in crushed tomatoes and white wine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low.

  3. Step 3

    Simmer broth uncovered for 10 minutes to let flavors meld.

  4. Step 4

    Add clams and mussels to the broth. Cover and cook for 5 minutes until they begin to open.

  5. Step 5

    Nestle cod chunks and shrimp into the broth. Cook uncovered for 4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Gently stir and cook 2–3 minutes more until shrimp turns opaque and fish flakes easily.

  7. Step 7

    Discard any clams or mussels that didn't open. Season with salt and pepper.

  8. Step 8

    Ladle cioppino into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread for soaking.
