What makes this distinctive is the Mediterrianean-style mixture of tomatoes, basil and oregano with plenty of red wine and garlic-a base which makes the finished dish very strong and heady indeed.

This was delicious. I had to pre-cook my mussels, but they still worked out well. Even my mom who doesn't like fish enjoyed it.

This is one of our favorites. I make it when I visit my beach house in Thailand. All the fresh ingredients are readily available in the wet market and it is easy to put together. We've add a few shakes of Tobasco sauce and spicy tomato sauce to give it just a bit more flavor. It gets better as left overs.

I have made this recipe for ciopinno for 25 yrs., and it is wonderful! Don't be put off by the lobster...the broth is great and stands on its own. I usually use swordfish or halibut, along with the recommended shellfish, but any addition won't disappoint, even some steamed redskins!

I used blue crab instead of the lobster, but only because we had lobster the night before. Also, did not use the tomato paste. My suggestion is not to under cut the seafood. Also, put the soup base on to simmer for a couple of hours before adding the seafood. Added additional water and didn't hurt the flavor in the least.
