Low Fat Seafood Cioppino

Seafood Cioppino is a very low fat and hearty fish stew, the perfect cool-weather treat.  We adapted our recipe from one created by The Oaks at Ojai, a health spa in Southern California, and at less than 250 calories per bowl, we think its a winner.  Although the list of ingredients appears rather long, it comes together in a snap if you have everything at the ready once you begin.  Ask your fish man or butcher to assemble the seafood ingredients for you. This dish is best served with a green salad and crusty slice of toasted whole grain bread for dipping up the savory broth.

    Very good. Wish this weight loss spa was still open for business, but glad you have many others to research. This seafood dish was a great dinner for my birthday.
