  Bouillabaisse recipe - ProvenceBeyond
The original bouillabaisse (bouï abaisso in Provençal, meaning boil and press "bout et abaisse") was from the Calanque coast between Marseilles and Toulon, although it is said to be invented at Saint-Raphaël.
Bouillabaisse was a "fisherman's" dish, and never contained any expensive ingredients such as lobster, although the common small green crabs were often used.
Bouillabaisse has many regional variations based on the different local fish, and the color can change from place to place because of the types of fish used.

 Bouillabaisse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bouillabaisse is a traditional Provençal fish stew originating from the port city of Marseille.
Bouillabaisse is often only served when there are large groups of people, as it is time-consuming to prepare and some of its ingredients may be expensive; it is also generally available from restaurants along the coasts of Provence.
Then, the population ate a simple fish stew known in Greek as 'kakavia.' Bouillabaisse also appears in Roman mythology: it is the soup that Venus fed to Vulcan, to lull him to sleep, so that she could cavort with the god Mars.

 Did you know: Some Bouillabaisse History
The apocryphal story of the origin of bouillabaisse that is popularly told by the Marseillais is that Venus served bouillabaisse to her husband, Vulcan, to lull him to sleep while she consorted with Mars.
The origin of the word bouillabaisse has been attributed to the abbess of a Marseilles convent (a pun on bouille-abbesse, the abbess' boil?) and, most credibly, to bouillon abaissé "to reduce by evaporation." One of the earliest uses of the word bouillabaisse was in the 1830s as a term expressing the rapidity of the cooking.
Strong opinions about the proper bouillabaisse are typical from its proponents such as the French writer and gourmet August de Croze who said it is a culinary heresy to use white wine in a bouillabaisse because wine only changes the nature of the fish.

 Bouillabaisse a French variation of the all
The broth was served as soup or as dipping sauce for bread; the seafood as the main course.
While the Marseilles version of bouillabaisse is one of the most known, many other French coastal towns have similar dishes, using wine, different types of seafood, vegetables and spices to make their own distinct version of this fish stew.
Serve the bouillabaisse with a leafy green salad topped with crumbled goat cheese, a loaf of crusty bread with a fruity olive oil for dipping and a bottle of white wine -- your guests will feel as though they are in the south of France.

 Genuine bouillabaisse may be humble, but it's tasty Oakland Tribune - Find Articles
The name bouillabaisse is derived from the term bouillon abaiss or "broth lowered," which refers to the technique of violently boiling the soup to both emulsify the ingredients and intensify the flavors.
The key to preparing bouillabaisse is to include fish with firm flesh that will stand up to cooking, as well as smaller fish that will break down and thicken the broth.
Bouillabaisse can be found at any touristy seafront restaurant in Marseilles, but that doesn't mean it will be good.

 Whitings Writings - Bouillabaisse, Cassoulet
Bouillabaisse and cassoulet are two classic peasant dishes that have been promoted from "folk song" to "art song".
The chunks came out of the pan without falling to bits, they maintained their individual flavor, and the broth was a creditable fish soup in its own right, with generous bowls of rouille, dry toast and the proper grated gruyére that goes stringy in the soup and dribbles down your chin.
IF a bouillabaisse is a watercolor which must be executed with élan, a cassoulet is an oil painting, built up layer by layer and allowed to set between its successive stages.

 La Bouillabaisse Marseillaise
Bouillabaisse is also often considered the fare of local French fishermen who, on returning from their fishing expedition, would boil up a batch whilst sorting their catch; some to be sold on the local market and the rest to be kept for eating at home.
The stew and the fish are usually served in separate bowls, with the stew poured over slices of French bread seasoned with a spicy type of aioli (garlic mayonnaise) called rouille.
One last piece of advice: it is probably unusual if not unwise to serve Bouillabaisse for only 2 adults and 2 young children, as it quite time-consuming to prepare and some of its ingredients are quite expensive.

 Bouillabaisse 126 - New York Magazine Restaurant Review
Despite its name, Bouillabaisse 126 is purely a Brooklyn story, its hero, Neil Ganic, a Yugoslavian-born chef who made his name in the early nineties at La Bouillabaisse, a pioneering Atlantic Avenue bistro.
Bouillabaisse 126—the number is the street address in the burgeoning part of Brooklyn that’s called, in the current confounding fashion, Carroll Gardens West, Red Hook, and, as Ganic and his partners prefer, the Columbia Waterfront District—joins old-timers like Ferdinando’s Focacceria and newcomers like Schnäck, bringing Union Street an utterly unpretentious infusion of rustic French flavor.
The room is the unfussy Ganic’s grandest yet, dramatically high-ceilinged and sparsely decorated, with baguettes stowed away in an armoire and a striped banquette cushion adding a jolt of color to the exposed brick and bistro-yellow walls.

One of my favorite memories from childhood is of a seafood dish my Grandfather used to cook.
He called it “Cobio” which I suspect was derived from the word Courtboullion or Bouillabaisse.
The recipe was mostly cooked from what seafood he had handy but the recipe always started with “fry some bacon until crisp” so he would have the oil for the dish.

 The Cookbook Store: Salt Cod Bouillabaisse
The salt cod bouillabaisse is a rustic and not terribly noble version traditionally prepared by inland Provençals for whom fresh fish was either geographically or financially out of reach.
Nevertheless, there are those who use salt cod in their soup out of personal preference.
The salt cod bouillabaisse can be served, like the more famous Marseille version, in two stages: first the soup alone over the croutons; later the potatoes and salt cod, kept warm periodically with some hot broth.
