    This looks so good! I love a licorice flavor, but I'm allergic to fennel. Would tarragon work in place of the fennel in this recipe?

    I love cioppino. Will be giving this a try. My question is: where would I find fish stock? Is it something that is sold in regular grocery stores and if so, what section can it be found in?

    This cioppino was delicious! The fennel was a perfect addition. It gave the stew a nice mellowness. It cooked on high for about four hours before I added the seafood. I think an additional hour couldn’t hurt to break down the vegetables a bit more. I ran an immersion blender quickly through it before adding the seafood. Also, I think next time I will add the clams and mussels about fifteen minutes before the fish and shrimp, so the temperature of the broth is not brought down by the chilled seafood and more of the clams and mussels open. Already on the menu for next New Years Day. It was a hit.

    Have made this for the past 3 Christmas Eve family dinners. After the 1st year, I’ve always doubled the recipe as everyone wants to take home leftovers. I usually add 2 or 3 bottles of clam juice., along with some halibut, sword fish and scallops so it covers my “Feast of the 7 fishes” in one dish….. :)
