February 07, 2023

The team at CHEF’STORE® thanks McCormick & Company, Inc for their sponsorship and for sharing this delicious recipe with us.

Originating from San Francisco, cioppino is an Italian-American fish stew developed in the late 1800s by Italian immigrants who fished off Meiggs' Wharf. Today, it is a staple dish in many restaurants around the country. This twist on a classic adds flavors of the Chesapeake region with OLD BAY® Seasoning and fresh ingredients and seafood. 

Add your own twist with local, sustainable seafood and serve with warm, hearty bread and butter for a delicious meal.
