    This was outstanding!! I love cioppino in San Francisco and this is the closest I've ever come to duplicating it! The flavor is so incredible, if it weren't for the sodium I'd eat this every single day! I subbed the recommended seafood for the seafood medley mixed bag at Costco and used clam juice. - 5/25/10

    I had only red wine on hand, but it still tasted great! We had it with a green salad and some good bread for a filling meal. - 12/18/10
