Cioppino’s Origin Story: Italy Meets San Francisco
Cioppino (Pronounced: chəˈpēnō) is a savory seafood and tomato-based stew that was invented by San Francisco’s Italian immigrant fishermen in the late 1800s.
San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf gained a reputation for its fine seafood cuisine from the waves of Italian fishermen who migrated to California in the late 19th century. Many of these settlers came from rich fishing traditions in Italy, where simple fishing boats known as feluccas (Pronounced: fell-oo-kahs), which originated in ancient Egypt, plied the waters of the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas. A large fleet of these light, maneuverable felucca sailboats thronged San Francisco's docks before and after the construction of the state-owned Fisherman's Wharf in 1884, and they became the mainstay of the fishing fleet of San Francisco Bay.
One such immigrant, Achille Paladini (Ah-keel-ee Pal-uh-deen-ee), was no stranger to the sea, having gained a familiarity with the fishing trade growing up on the Adriatic Coast of Italy, then sailing the world’s oceans until finally settling in San Francisco in 1865. Fishing for his supper was a practical means for survival, but Paladini soon learned that the abundance of the Pacific Ocean could be harvested to help feed the growing gold rush town, too. He quickly built a fleet of felucca fishing boats, expanded his fishing empire along the entire California coast, and earned the moniker: “Il re del pesce: The Fish King”.

From Sea to Dinner Table
In the early days, Paladini would often take whatever seafood was left over from the day’s catch, typically fish and shellfish, and cooked them with onions, garlic, tomatoes, herbs, olive oil and wine until the meat fell apart. He coined this rich fish soup "Cioppino" ( chuh-peen-oh) from the Italian word for fish stew: ciuppin. Italian restaurants soon sprouted up along the bustling docks and in the Italian-American enclave known as North Beach, serving the hearty Cioppino to dock laborers and citizens alike.
