Coconut Zuppa di Pesce, a seafood stew with a tropical twist, originated in the coastal regions of Italy. This dish has a rich history, with its roots in traditional Italian cuisine. The addition of coconut milk for extra creaminess adds a unique and delightful flavor to the classic recipe. Renowned chefs like Mario Batali and Lidia Bastianich have popularized this variation in their restaurants, infusing the dish with a touch of exotic flair. The best versions of this dish can be found in coastal towns like Positano and Amalfi, where fresh seafood is abundant. The key to perfecting this dish lies in using high-quality coconut milk and a variety of fresh seafood, such as clams, mussels, and shrimp. For a famous alternative method, some chefs also incorporate coconut water to enhance the dish's tropical essence.
