Cioppino: A Fine Kettle of Fish
From Rachael: "I am half Sicilian and so a large part of the family does "The Seven Fishes" on Christmas Eve. I do not have the patience to make seven dishes. I make this instead – it uses five varieties of seafood, all in one pot. Now that's a happy holiday!"
Inspired by Sicily, this salad is refreshing and sweet on a hot summer day. Navel oranges work best.
