Bouillabaisse Marseillaise

(Fish soup with croutons and rouille- Fish, according to the market Congress, Grondin, scorpion fish, pout, Saint-Pierre, live)

Since we were in Marseilles, we had to try the Bouillabaisse. 

The bouillabaisse contained three kinds of fish: sea bream, monkfish and turbot.  Mussels were also thrown in along with a side of vegetables  The broth itself was served with a rouille (mayonnaise with olive oil, garlic and saffron) and grated cheese served with slices of baguette. 

The result: 

A unique twist of flavor when dipped into the broth.  However, we found the broth a little too "fishy" for our palette.
