Great recipe and showing how its made French Style. However, what I learned is how to really make a rich flavored broth for any fish dish or even meat maybe with some slight adaptation variation.

[@Jonsson474]

I’m a bit curious how bouillabaisse was a poor mans soup and yet it was supposed to have saffron in it. Saffron Crocus didn’t (and doesn’t) grow in the south of France and had to be imported, so it must have been extremely expensive and considered a luxury product. All imported spices were expensive and only used by wealthy people. Therefore I don’t think saffron was part of the original bouillabaisse.

[@Moutley33367]

I "clocked" this and thought perhaps Caraway seed might be an economical alternative.

[@derekbruce5042]

They weren’t made with shrimp and scallops either you dummy it’s an adaptation of an original poor men’s dish

[@Jonsson474]

@@derekbruce5042 It could contain anything one could get hold of and shellfish was considered poor mans food. Not the fancy expensive food it is today in parts of the world.

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

France had of cross Mediterranean trade with Arab countries and was the colonial power in many of them. Bouilabaise is a dish from Marseilles which is a big port. Plenty of Northern African influence in French food and you only use a tiny bit of saffron.

[@myfairyblueworld]

I read up on the history and apparently saffron was added when it was not as expensive as it is now. It only needs about 10 pistons so even at today's cost should only translate to about .50 cents US.

[@amethystfish]

Hi Chef Ludo, what can we use the ground seafood for, after you squeezed out all the stock? Merci!

[@Tatjanak1989]

Hi! I would LOVE to make this recipe but red snapper is incredibly difficult to come by in Germany. So you have any good substitutes? I'm hoping that cod, pangasius or redfish/rosefish (sébaste ?) would work as i can get those easily. I also love meagre (maigre)... would that work? And I know where I could get fish bones, but not sure that would speed up the process... Thanks for any and all advice!

[@kasperdam9328]

Usually any kind of white/firm fish for a bouillabaisse is a go. Just don't use crumbly fish like salmon, unless you want it with smaller pieces ofc. If you want the rustic version with bigger pieces, almost all white fish is great. The cheaper the better.

[@mathiasgraf3281]

Good work Chef Ludo ... nice video with a bit of humor. I am going to make this tomorrow.

[@chrisjones1798]

I now want to make this 👌👌👌👌

[@danielgreen3715]

Im Hungry Now!😋😋😋

[@myfairyblueworld]

Ludo, I love you despite that you can come off a bit obnoxious at times but I'm sure you're no more so than most of the French seem ... myself included. LOL! 😉😆 This recipe looks and sounds delicious but I will be changing several things starting with making a fish stock with bones, shrimp shells, and other fish and shellfish scraps instead of with shrimp, scallops, and fish which is very wasteful unless you repurpose the strained leftovers (which is 100% possible). FYI, for anyone else that has an issue with the waste, you can opt to use a store bought fish stock and just add your aromatics to it. I would also not use butter since it's not traditional although I'm sure it makes the broth extra delicious and unctuous. I mean, it's butter so I can't hate it! Personally, I would have appreciated if you had explained or demonstrated how bouillabaisse is served in France, by serving the broth separately from the proteins as well as a little more history on the evolution from a poor man's stew to the more refined French version as we know it today. Santé!

[@bradtisch7803]

That thick, flavorful broth is a meal in itself.

Seafood wold have been very cheap but the spices would have cost a fortune. I don’t think they used saffron in the original recipe.

[@66siclone79]

@@Jonsson474 I'm from Toulon (near marseille) and in the XVIII century, The south of france was one of the biggest producers of safran of the world, so it was very accecible for the poors (wish are not now because off surpopulation, end of colonialism and ecological problems)

[@DeezeNutsX]

there was a video on youtube where it was all about medival food and what knights eat but the video maker also made one about what pesants ate and it was fresh salmon and artisan bread, something that is considered high quality restaurant food but back in the day thats what the pesants ate cuz thats what was available to them

Fish for the poor...proceeds to add saffron. What...?

[@kiana4431]

used to be for the poor, and the way the poor cooked in the past was surely a disaster lmao

[@Jonsson474]

I’m quite convinced that saffron was never in the original recipes. It would have been extremely expensive back in the days. Adding saffron to the bouillabaisse is a modern thing.

[@Wuudy123]

What kind of Pernod is it? Seems like a rare ingredient.

[@Wuudy123]

If you Google it, it’s a liquor made from anise, pretty expensive consider if you only use some portion of it for cooking u less you drink it, I’ve got one from local liquor store for about $35.

[@myfairyblueworld]

It's an anise liqueur. You can substitute it for lesser known brands or use an absinthe. If you don't want to spend the $ you can try and mock the flavor by steeping the predominant herbs and spices into a strong tea and use that instead. I've done this in the past and it's worked quite nicely. I love Pernod but I hate that it has green dye in it and it's pretty pricey to boot.

[@kamilamilo6617]

Bonjour! Merci pour votre recipe! What I can use instead of scallops? And what types of fish is acceptable in this soup? Regards from Pologne!

[@hennayatsu6969]

Originally they used whatever the could find that were leftover parts like fish heads or parts that were not used by the restaurants due to the fact that sailors were mostly poor. You can use whatever you enjoy most and whatever you are able to afford. For fish you may want Sculpin, Rockfish and the likes. However no salmon or other types of oily fish. For shellfish: lobster, mussels, clams, shrimps. All up to you and your likes. No need for alcohol if you'd rather not. Use fennel instead.

[@myfairyblueworld]

@@hennayatsu6969 agreed but you can actually use oily fish but it would be best to cook separately and added last just before serving so as to not take over the flavor of the broth. Also, you can eliminate the alcohol in the Pernod by cooking it off separately until the alcohol burns away and then add it. It really does add a magnificent flavor.

im muslim so i can’t use wine is there a substitute? maybe vinegar or something

[@novaterata]

The wine will cook off, and isn't any different than eating bread, which is alcoholic before baking. I understand that some jurists would consider it haram, but seems to miss the point of the original intent of the prohibition to me.

[@myfairyblueworld]

Pernod is not wine it's an anise liqueur. You can cook it separately to burn off all of the alcohol and then add it or leave it out all together. You can also make a strong tea using the predominant herbs and spices in the Pernod and use that instead. I've done this in a pinch and it's just as delicious.
