Bouillabaisse is a traditional Provençal fish stew originating from the port city of Marseille. Originally a humble fisherman's dish, it showcases the region's rich maritime heritage, using whatever fish was available. Today, conger eel is a prized ingredient in this dish, adding depth and flavor. Bouillabaisse has evolved into a symbol of Mediterranean cuisine, celebrated for its aromatic broth and variety of seafood, and is enjoyed in many variations across the globe.
