In a large pot, sauté onions, shallots and celery until the onions are clear. Add garlic and cook for 4 minutes. Add one cup of white wine and sauté on high heat for 5 minutes. Next add tomato Puree, Shell Stock, 2 Lemon Slices, ½ Lb of Lump Crab meat, Garlic Powder, Tomato Paste, Splash of Worcester Sauce, Splash of Balsamic Vinegar salt and pepper to taste, be sure to add enough pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and cook for 2 hours stirring occasionally. Add Basil, keep leaves large.

Add all fish, when 3/4 cooked add white wine, then combine with sauce.

This cioppino was just okay. The broth was a bit bland and the seafood was overcooked. I wouldn't make this again.

This cioppino was delicious and easy to make. I used a variety of seafood, including shrimp, scallops, mussels, and clams. The broth was flavorful and the seafood was cooked perfectly. I served it with crusty bread to soak up all the delicious juices
