Sam’s Chowder House in Half Moon Bay serves cioppino with cracked Dungeness crab, prawns, mussels, clams and rockfish. The sauce, which is flavored with fennel and pasilla pepper, has just a bit of zing. Sam's offers two different options for this dish, which continues to be one of the restaurant's most-popular menu items. You can get the cioppino served classically or “lazy style” (with the shells removed). When Dungeness crab is unavailable, lump blue crab is swapped in as a substitute.
