Today is National Bouillabaisse Day, how will you celebrate?

Asked by erichw1504 (26453points) December 14th, 2009

I think that you will agree with me that this is a somewhat fishy day. It’s National Bouillabaisse Day, a day to celebrate a tasty Mediterranean fish stew or soup.

Bouillabaisse is believed to have originated in Marseilles, France. It is extremely popular all around the Mediterranean, and is a specialty in ports across the region.

Bouillabaisse is a fish stew or soup. All agree the fish should be white fillets. Recipes call for variety of fish, including cod, snapper, flounder, halibut, sea bass, monk fish, and more.

Celebrate National Bouillabaisse Day with a cup or bowl or this tasty stew.

Do you celebrate this fine holiday? If so, how and in what way do you eat it? If not, why?

As a vegetarian, I wouldn’t consider eating bouillabaise, but I like saying the word.
