                        Seafood:
   1                    Fresh dungeness crab
   2                    Lobster tails
   8      lg            Shrimp -- unshelled
  12                    Clams  -- in the shell
     1/2  lb            Fresh scallops
     1/2  lb            Halibut fillets

Heat oil and butter in a large pot. Add onion, parsley, and garlic
and cook until onion is transparent. Add sherry and cook an
additional 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and tomato sauce, bay leaves, and
seasonings. Stir frequently while cooking 15 to 20 minutes. Add
water, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Add all seafood except halibut to the sauce. Add more water if
necessary. Cook for 5 minutes, add halibut, and cook an additional
10 minutes. When clams have opened, cioppino is ready to serve.

Notes: I think the cooking times after adding the seafood is too
long. But then most cookbooks have you overcooking. Adjust the time.
