Traditionally, it contains at least five types of seafood and fish, following the maritime tradition of as many 'c's as in its name. This hearty dish is prepared with a tomato base, flavored with garlic, white wine, and fresh herbs. It's a perfect choice for a special dinner or whenever you crave an authentic Italian taste.
