Cioppino

Back in NJ this weekend for family functions and decided to make Cioppino for a dinner party. This is the San Francisco version of the French bouillabaisse, the only difference is what fish and shellfish you have available. Very easy to prepare, your friends will swear you spent a week at a cooking school; just sit back and accept the compliments.

Use any white fish that will stay firm and substitute scallops for the lobster if you wish.
