- Bouillabaisse. the classic Provençal fish stew from Marsais. So the question I struggled with was do I call this fish soup bouillabaisse or provençal fish soup? The reason is that there will some pedants who are so outraged by me calling it bouillabaisse, they will argue that a true bouillabaisse has 27 different variety of fish in there. So to those out there who are angry with me, just relax please it's just cooking isn't it? My understanding is the origins of bouillabaisse is that the fishermen sold all the fish that they could and the meagre offerings that they were left with is what they took home to their wives who got creative and made a soup/stew with the little tiddlers and that is artisan peasant food at it's best, so for those still with me and not foaming at the mouth with rage, I hope you really want to give bouillabaisse a try.

I love bouillabaisse and am planning to give this recipe a try. Which brand of strainers is used in this recipe?
I have two strainers that I use 1 a conical strainer which is strong and can take a ladle or spoon pushing liquid through it's slightly larger holes. 2 a fine mesh chinois which removes the smaller bits from the broth. I've just had a look at them and can't see any logo to identify the manufacturer?
I've just searched on my favourite kitchen suppliers website and here's some links to point you in the right direction. www.thebigkitchen.co.uk/?post_type=product&s=conical%20strainer

I’m planning on making this soup tonight. It’s hard to see all the ingredients when pausing the video. It would be great if you had them posted somewhere easier to read with a link to it in the description. Thank you.
you're right I usually do post the recipe in the description. This is a really old video so I probably hadn't started doing that yet, any way here's the recipe for you, hope you love this as much as I do?
BTW don't get too concerned about what fish to use, the French used to use whatever they couldn't sell at the market.

@@unclemattscookerylessons Thank you so much. I made the recipe and enjoyed every bite of it. I used sourdough bread in the rouille though and was not fond of it. I think the sourdough imparted an odd taste. I ended up toasting the bread and putting butter on it instead and it was absolutely delicious. Thanks again!
Add butter. Hard fish. Leeks, too.
Squid is calimari !
Prawns are shrimp!
How big are the bottles of vermouth and wine thanks
Those bottles would most likely be 700ml , about 1.5 pints, hope that helps
If you Insta-Pot this, the bones will dissolve!!
The pronouciation is bouillabesse, not bouillabase! There are two ‘s’es in the word. You should use Pastis or Ricard. Not Pernod, this is from Paris, and no vermouth. My late wife was from Marseille and made a marvellous bouillabaise. (Jan van Kleef)
to be honest I really don't like anise flavour in drinks and I cannot tell the difference between any of the varieties. My understanding is that Ricard is the style of drink and Pernod is a brand name for ricard?
I do like to cook with ricard however, I mentioned in the video that some people get annoyed if you don't use 27 different varieties of fish, but the reality is this is a peasant dish where fishermen's wives would use up whatever fish they brought home, I also don't think it matters what brand of anise drink is used my friend.
Marsais.....really..........outrageous........then..... hilarious.....then sad
and extremely delicious my friend
