This rustic tomato stew is brimming with delicious fresh seafood in a tomato and wine broth that tastes like the sea. We upped it a notch by using large shrimp and fresh lobster meat! Serve with crusty bread to mop up all the soup! It’s a deeply satisfying meal that’s always a hit around here!

What is Cioppino?

Cioppino is an Italian-American fishermen’s stew that originated in San Francisco. It is a marriage of various regional fish soups and stews of Italian cuisine. This rustic tomato-enriched fish stew goes well with dry white wines. Main ingredients often include crab, clams, shrimp, scallops, squid, mussels and different types of firm-fleshed fish. This seafood soup is very flexible. Feel free to explore different seafood with it.

Today, I am using live lobsters. Shells to make lobster stock and meat to go into my Cioppino soup!

Serve with crusty bread to mop up all the soup! It’s a deeply satisfying meal that’s always a hit around here!

How do I store live lobster?

• Lobster should always be kept wet and cold in your refrigerator until cooking time. Do not submerge lobster in fresh water or ice; simply place them in a large open container in your refrigerator and cover them with a damp cloth/paper towel.

How many days can I keep live lobster?

• If lobster is kept cool and damp in the refrigerator and you have followed proper storage instructions, they can typically be kept for a maximum of two days (including transit time).

5 Ways To Live More Sustainably?

Living sustainably in our day-to-day lives can be as easy as recycling newspapers and composting food scraps. It is a conscious effort to reduce the use of Earth’s natural resources, your carbon footprint and consumption.

1. Eat Locally
2. Dispose of disposables – use glass containers instead of single-use plastics
3. Recycle
4. Save water – conserve household water use
5. Buy products that traceable to source

 

Why Is This Important?

When you support local farmers and brands that follow traceable high standards such as MSC and Nobilo Wines, we elevate everyday meals while making choices that are also good for the planet. Over 90% of the world’s fish stock are either fully fished or over-fished! Yet, over 1/2 Billion people rely on seafood for their income and are the main source of animal protein! So, what’s better than bringing friends and families together to enjoy delicious meals that everyone can feel good about.

 

About Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)

Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an international non-profit that exists to keep healthy oceans and sustainable seafood around for generations to come. Their goal is for people to enjoy seafood as a delicious and healthy source of protein while also allowing future generations to enjoy it as well. With the world’s most recognized program for certified wild, sustainable and traceable seafood, you can look for the MSC Blue Fish Label and know with confidence that your seafood comes from a fishery that meets the highest internationally accepted best practices for sustainable fishing, and that it can be traced from ocean to plate.

 

Where Can I Purchase MSC Certified Seafood Products?

Look for the MSC Blue Fish Label! MSC Certified products can be found at Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstores, Fortinos, Zehrs, Whole Foods Markets, Costco, Walmart and Sobeys. In terms of commonly found MSC product, this is the order that you’ll most likely find it…

• Cod, haddock, halibut, wild salmon (farmed salmon cannot be MSC certified!), canned tuna, canned mackerel (Gold Seal)
• Scallops, cold water shrimp
• Chilean sea bass, sole
• Lobster (often frozen, only available live at Seafront Fish Market in Toronto).
• Pickerel, yellow perch, orange roughy
• All your favourite types of seafood available in fresh, frozen or canned.

About Nobilo Wines 

Nobilo Wines is certified by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand and some of their efforts include, on-site composting, reducing the use of water at the winery, and minimizing the use of CO2 and replacing with nitrogen to reduce emissions. New Zealand Winegrowers’ Sustainability Policy requires all wine to be made from 100% certified grapes in fully certified winemaking facilities.

Nobilo grows grapes in a wide range of local climatic conditions with pristine landscape was ideal for Sauvignon Blanc with expansive sunlight valleys, rolling hills and mineral rich soils creating a uniquely fresh and crisp flavour profile.

 

Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc I Marborough, New Zealand:

Aromas of bright lifted tropical fruit and herbs with notes of pineapple, passionfruit, elderflower, cantaloupe and citrus. Energizing and lively acidity perfectly balances the underlying fruit sweetness for a refreshing and crisp generous finish. Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc perfectly pairs with a summer salad and seafood dishes.

Nobilo is an affordable wine that can be found in the New Zealand section at retailers across Canada, including LCBO, Sobeys and Loblaws (Ontario), BC Liquour Stores and private retailers in BC.

I am so excited to partner with both brands, it truly speaks to my heart on supporting local and sustainability, eating healthy and celebrates food!

 

Haddock Scallops Fennel Soup 

I love making this seafood fennel cioppino soup! It is so easy to make and can be made the night before if you are hosting a dinner party. The soup holds up well over time. This is the perfect comfort soup to stay cozy – even in the summer! The aroma of onion, fennel and garlic along with the sharp, sweet liquorice flavour of fennel pairs wonderfully with meaty MSC Certified scallops and flakey, tender MSC Certified Haddock.

We use Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc to deglaze the pan after the white Miropoix is translucent and bacon is cooked. Remember to scrape off the fat rendered from the bacon. One of the secrets of cooking wine is that wine helps cook and add flavour to fish and to replace the lost moisture.

I like to play off the subtle flavours in the wine and acid can help bring out the natural flavours in mild food, such as fish – ex. fish is often served with a wedge of lemon! Also, when deciding what type of wine you should be used to cook which type of food, the general rule is to pair light-flavoured wine with delicately flavoured ingredients.
