From the Test Kitchen

Bouillabaisse is an incredibly dynamic dish, with origins in Provence, France. The stew was made with leftover catch, usually rockfish, that fishermen were unable to sell. But any variety and number of fish were thrown in, alongside vegetables and Provençal herbs and spices. For our bouillabaisse, we’re using only the finest, freshest catch. But we’re sticking to tradition by using Herbes de Provence in our spice blend and serving the fish stew with toasted, garlicky baguettes.
