CIOPINO (continued)

EATING MY WAY THROUGH ITALY
by Henry Aimes Abot
Golden State Company, Ltd.
1936

Pg. 18:
   We tell the proprietor that we wish a dish of his famous Ciopino, a dish of which Genoese sailors dream during long nights at sea.
   And no wonder!  SO many varieties of fish have found their way into this kettle that we give up trying to name them all.  Ciopino is similar to the French Bouillabaise, but a lighter affair.
