Fish stew, in its many forms, has ancient roots, stemming from the need for coastal communities to utilize the freshest catches and often less desirable fish parts. Bouillabaisse, originating in Marseille, is a classic example, evolving from a simple fisherman's stew to a more refined dish. Regional variations developed based on available ingredients and local culinary traditions.

Savory, rich, and often slightly briny, fish stew combines the delicate flavors of various seafood with aromatic vegetables and herbs. The broth can range from light and brothy to thick and creamy, depending on the recipe.
Typical flavors include the distinct taste of fish (often a mix of white fish, shellfish, and sometimes oily fish), balanced by the sweetness of tomatoes, onions, and other vegetables. Herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf provide an earthy aroma. Garlic is almost always present, and a touch of saffron or fennel can add complexity. A splash of white wine or pastis (in the case of Bouillabaisse) can enhance the savory notes. The toasted sourdough provides a textural contrast and a subtle tang that complements the richness of the stew.

Freshness is Key
Use the freshest seafood possible for the best flavor and texture. Shop at reputable fishmongers and inquire about the catch of the day.
Build the Broth
Take the time to build a flavorful broth with aromatics and potentially fish bones. This forms the foundation of a delicious stew.
Don't Overcook the Fish
Add the fish towards the end of the cooking process to prevent it from becoming dry and rubbery. Cook just until opaque and flaky.
Toast the Sourdough Properly
Toast sourdough slices until golden brown and slightly crispy. Rubbing a clove of garlic over the warm toast enhances the flavor.
Consider Rouille
For added richness and flavor, especially when mimicking Bouillabaisse, serve the stew with Rouille, a garlic and pepper mayonnaise.
