Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken or fish stock, red pepper flakes, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook Fingerling Potatoes

    Add halved fingerling potatoes to the pot and cook for an additional 10 minutes, until they are tender.

  4. 4

    Add Seafood

    Carefully add the market fish, gulf shrimp, and Maine mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until mussels have opened and shrimp are pink.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf. Ladle the bouillabaisse into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
