What it is
A rich and flavorful Provençal fish stew featuring various types of fresh fish and shellfish in a saffron-infused broth with herbs and a touch of tomato. Traditionally served with bread and rouille (garlic mayonnaise).

How to make it keto
Explicitly request no croutons or bread. While rouille is typically served, it's a high-fat mayonnaise and can be keto if made without sugar; confirm with the restaurant or opt for plain olive oil/butter. Specify no potatoes in the stew.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour la Bouillabaisse, sans croûtons, pain ni pommes de terre, s'il vous plaît. La rouille est-elle sans sucre? Sinon, de l'huile d'olive nature, c'est bien.
For the Bouillabaisse, no croutons, bread, or potatoes, please. Is the rouille made without sugar? Otherwise, plain olive oil is fine.
Watch out for
