Cioppino
Boys

It started with one order. One steaming, crab-legged, tomato-drenched order. Now it's a way of life.

The Legend

Once upon a time, on El Camino Real, there was a place called the Fish Market. A group of friends sat down. Menus were opened. And then someone said the words that would echo forever: "I'll get the cioppino." The Fish Market has since moved on. The joke has not.
