Bouillabaisse is a traditional French seafood stew originating from the port city of Marseille. It typically features a flavorful broth made with a variety of fish, shellfish, tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, and spices. The dish often includes a combination of fish such as red snapper, sea bass, and monkfish, as well as shellfish like mussels, clams, and shrimp. Bouillabaisse is simmered slowly to allow the flavors to meld together, resulting in a rich and aromatic stew. It is often served with slices of crusty bread and a rouille, a garlicky saffron-infused mayonnaise, for dipping. Bouillabaisse is celebrated for its depth of flavor, hearty texture, and the abundance of seafood, making it a beloved and iconic dish in French cuisine.
