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!

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).
