1. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large stock pot, then add the onion, fennel, garlic, parsley, sauteing until the onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, basil, salt, thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes and saute 2 minutes longer.
2. Add the white wine, crushed and diced tomatoes, fish stock, and bay leaves, then cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 30 minutes so the flavors can blend. While the meat simmers, prepare the crab by removing the crab legs from the body (if not already done for you) and using a nutcracker to crack the shells (leave the meat in the shell) so that the meat can be easily removed once the cioppino is served.
3. Increase the heat to medium and add the clams and mussels to the broth and cook for 5 minutes until they start to open. Then add the crab legs and cook for another minute, followed by the shrimp and scallops. Finally, lay the chunks of cod on top of the broth and cover and cook for 3-5 minutes until the mussels and clams are open, the shrimp curl and the scallops are just firm.
4. Ladle the cioppino into large bowls garnish with chopped fresh parsley and basil. Serve with warm, crusty sourdough bread! Have plenty of napkins, extra bowls for shells, and nutcrackers and tiny forks on hand for the crab.

dungeness crab cioppino recipe san francisco

WEBMay 13, 2016 · 4 live and lively medium-large Dungeness crabs (about 6 pounds total) Olive oil. Sea salt. ¾ cup dry white wine. 1/3 cup grappa. 1 …

1. Ideally, you’ll cut up your crabs while they’re still alive. Set a crab, top shell down, on your work surface and, with a large, heavy knife or Chinese cleaver, make one sure, swift stroke through the middle of the body. (If you don’t want to do this, bring a large pot of water to a boil and drop in your live crabs. Leave them for 5 minutes, then drain and proceed with the recipe.)
2. Pull off and discard the mouth parts, abdomen plate and long, fleshy gills. Remove the liver and pancreas (the gushy part inside the body) and reserve. Once you’ve saved the guts, you can clean the crab under running water, which makes it less messy. Separate the claws and walking legs (leaving a section of the body attached to each) and gently crack each section with a hammer or mallet (don’t go crazy, just make a crack in each shell).
3. Set a large, deep pot over medium heat and cover the bottom with a film of olive oil. Get this hot and drop in the crab pieces and a few healthy pinches of salt. Toss briefly, then cover and leave to steam for 5 minutes, or until all the pieces feel warm.
4. Turn up the flame and add the wine and grappa, the parsley, chile, garlic and lemon zest. Boil vigorously, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
