Bouillabaisse is a regional dish from the Provence and it
originated in Marseille.
It can be found on the menu of even the most prestigious
restaurants. It was originally used by fishermen to get rid
of surplus fish after catching and selling it.
Major misunderstanding: bouillabaisse is not a fish soup,
but fish prepared in fish soup.
Admittedly, this recipe is also a corruption of the recipe in
the Charter that has determines the composition since
1980. The Charter states that the following fish must be
included: rockfish (rascasse), red snapper, weever,
monkfish, conger eel and sunfish.
