Bouillabaisse is a traditional fish stew originating from the port city of Marseille. It is made by simmering various types of fish with herbs and vegetables. The broth is then served as a soup, poured over bread (crusty bread) seasoned with rouille (a spicy French mayonnaise), with the fish and vegetables served separately.
