Traditional Marseille Bouillabaisse

A Provençal fish stew with rockfish, tomato, potatoes, fennel, saffron, and orange. To retain its Marseille character, use at least four fish species and serve the broth and fish separately, with garlic-rubbed toast.

Marseille bouillabaisse has variations: the available fish can change, and shellfish is not essential. This version follows the fish variety and separate serving associated with Marseille, using quantities scaled from a documented recipe for six servings. Choose at least four species from scorpionfish, conger eel, weever fish, and John Dory; use very fresh fish.

Method

  1. 01

    Prepare the fish and potatoes

    Clean and gut the fish if it has not already been prepared; cut larger fish into portions and check that there are at least four species. Peel and slice the potatoes thickly. Peel and chop the onion and three garlic cloves; peel, seed, and chop the tomatoes.

  2. 02

    Build the broth

    Heat the olive oil in a wide pot. Add the onion and cook until translucent; stir in the three chopped garlic cloves. Add the tomatoes and fennel seeds and cook gently until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 5 minutes in total.

    Cook the fish in the broth

    Pour the hot fish stock into the pot. Add the orange peel, bay leaves, and saffron; bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Add the fish portions, starting with the largest, and simmer gently until cooked and tender, about 20 minutes. Avoid stirring vigorously.

    Cook the potatoes and toast the bread

    While the fish cooks, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, then drain. Toast the bread slices and rub one side of each with the reserved garlic clove.

    Serve separately

    Carefully lift out the fish portions and place them on a platter with the potatoes. Serve the broth separately, piping hot, with the garlic toast. Each diner can combine the broth, fish, and potatoes in their bowl.
