Bouillabaisse is a traditional Provençal seafood stew originating from Marseille, France. Originally a fisherman’s dish, it was made using the catch of the day—typically small rockfish, shellfish, and fragrant Mediterranean herbs. The broth is rich and aromatic, flavored with saffron, fennel, and tomatoes, and served with crusty bread and rouille, a garlicky saffron-infused sauce.
