Classic Italian Fish Soups

Italian cooking is very difficult to pin down -- almost every city and town has its specialties, and there are regional trends too; the end result is a huge number of local cuisines rather than a single national cuisine. However, there are some dishes that you will find almost everywhere, and that are now standards among the many Italian communities scattered across the globe.

Cacciucco
Livorno's firey fish stew, a glaring exception to the rule that Tuscan food is bland

Ciuppin
The Ligurian progenitor of the Bay Area's cioppino.

Ciuppin II
A heartier, slower cooking version of ciuppin.
