The
dish to eat in Marseilles is Bouillabaisse. And in
Marseilles the place to head for Bouillabaisse is Le
Miramar or one of the other signatories to Le Charte de la
Bouillabaisse Marseillaise - six of the ten are in
Marseilles. I'm glad I chose Le Miramar. The
charter specifies what fish may go into bouillabaisse, how
they should be prepared and how they are to be
served. The fish are weever, scorpion fish, hog
fish, gurnet, anglerfish, whiting, moray, and mackerel. The
service requires that first the broth is served, followed
by the fish, moistened by the same broth. With both,
garlicky rouille is spread on slices of bread and floated
in the broth. The pictures across the top show the
rouille on the right, the broth course and the fish
course. To the near right, the waiter presents the
fish. At the far right two waiters prepare the fish
service.
