Bourride · Marseille
Bourride is the white-fleshed fish cousin of bouillabaisse, monkfish or sea bass poached in a broth bound with aioli into a creamy emulsion, served with garlic croutons and the same garlic mayonnaise on the side.
Bourride was the everyday fisherman's stew in Marseille from the 19th century, cheaper than bouillabaisse because it used a single white fish (often monkfish, anglerfish or sea bass) rather than the four rock fish of the bouillabaisse charter. The broth is bound with aioli rather than rouille, which gives it the creamy yellow colour. Chez Fonfon and Chez Michel both cook it, and Le Miramar serves the bourride as a one-fish alternative to bouillabaisse on the same menu.
