🧂m e n u h i g h l i g h t

cioppino was born on the boats of north beach, san francisco in the late 1800s. italian immigrant fishermen from genoa would "chip in" a portion of their daily catch to a communal pot on the docks, creating a rustic seafood stew simmered with crushed tomatoes, garlic, wine, and herbs. today, we honor this rich, local tradition by using a multi-generational family recipe passed down through a san francisco firefighter on truck 19.

🧂Highlight Ingredient: Calabash style cuisine began in the 1930s in the small coastal fishing village of Calabash, NC. What started as casual open-air dockside picnics evolved into a culinary style that earned the town the title of "Seafood Capital of the World". During the Great Depression, local fishermen would return to the docks along the Calabash River with fresh catches of Flounder, shrimp, and clams. Hungry from a long day, they gathered with their families to cook in large outdoor tubs of hot oil. Lightly breading and frying the seafood.
