What Does Cioppino Mean In Italian?
Cioppino is an Italian-American fish stew that originated in the port city of San Francisco. The word cioppino itself is believed to have come from the Italian word “ciuppin,” which means “to chop” or “chopped.” The dish typically includes a variety of seafood such as crab, shrimp, clams, mussels, and fish, all simmered together in a tomato-based broth with onions, garlic, herbs, and sometimes wine.
