This is a seafood stew that’s inspired by cioppino, the classic Italian-American stew made with tomatoes, white wine, and various fresh seafood.
In my version, I omit the wine and use three of my favorite seafood: salmon, shrimp, and scallops. I also add okra to thicken the stew and provide a daily dose of vegetables.
Btw, Imagine™ Foods makes an excellent seafood stock that can be found at Whole Foods.
