Bouillabaisse

Cultural Context

Originating from the coastal region of Provence, Bouillabaisse was once a humble fisherman's stew made with the catch of the day. Traditionally served with a side of rouille (a garlic mayonnaise), it reflects the Mediterranean's rich maritime culture. Today, Bouillabaisse is celebrated in fine dining, with variations found worldwide, showcasing the versatility of seafood.
