Cioppino
This technique takes the intimidation out of cooking shellfish. As long as you add each type at its indicated time instead of all at once, you’ll end up with delicate, perfectly cooked clams, scallops, shrimp, and mussels. And the flavor of this stew is so rich and deep, you’d never guess it all comes together in about half an hour. This technique takes the intimidation out of cooking shellfish.

Simmer It

Roast It
Roasting is a great hands-off technique—you can go take care of something else on your to-do list while dinner cooks. The dry heat concentrates the fish’s flavor but keeps the flesh perfectly tender. If you haven’t had arctic char, add it to your list. It tastes like a cross between trout and salmon. We used small multicolored carrots here, but any kind will do!
