About Bouillabaisse
Marseille Tourism’s bouillabaisse follows the city’s multi-fish tradition. Its selected recipe includes rascasse, Saint-Pierre, conger, galinette, vive and monkfish, alongside a separate fish base and potatoes.
Olive oil, onion, garlic and tomato underpin the broth, with fennel, parsley and saffron adding aromatic depth. The selected rouille combines aioli with saffron and hot pepper.
Fish and potatoes are presented separately from the broth, with mixing left to the diner. Garlic-rubbed croutons are an optional accompaniment to the sauce.
