½ lb Little Neck clams (See Notes)
¼ lb mussels (scrubbed, see Notes)
2 quarts Cioppino Sauce (recipe follows)

1-½ lb Dungeness crab (cooked, cleaned and cracked, to save time I bought ¼ lb cooked crab meat instead)

⅛ lb bay scallops

Directions: |
Directions:Put the olive oil, butter, and garlic in a large pot over medium heat, and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, but not brown. Add the wine and the clams, and cover. Turn the heat up to medium-high and steam until the clams start to open, about 3-5 minutes. Add the mussels, cover and steam until the just start to open, about 2 minutes. Now stir in some cioppino sauce, the Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the cracked crabs, if using, and the shrimp, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the fish, squid, scallops, and cooked crab meat. Gently stir in the rest of cioppino sauce and simmer until they are all just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook. Serve in large bowls, shells included. Sprinkle with minced parsley. Serve with crusty French baguette. Enjoy! |
