Bouillabaisse (sans pommes de terre et croutons)
Marseille Fish Stew (without potatoes or croutons)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes or croutons. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and fragrant Provençal fish stew originating from Marseille, made with various Mediterranean fish and shellfish, simmered in a broth flavored with saffron, tomatoes, herbs, and garlic. The keto version omits the traditional potatoes and crusty croutons usually served with rouille.
Key ingredients
Mixed fish, shellfish, saffron, tomatoes, herbs, garlic
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes or croutons. If rouille (garlic mayonnaise) is served, confirm it is free of gluten or high-carb ingredients and use in moderation as it can be caloric.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour la Bouillabaisse, sans pain, croûtons ni rouille s'il vous plaît. Le bouillon est-il sans sucre ajouté ?
For the Bouillabaisse, I'd like no bread, croutons, or rouille. Please confirm there's no added sugar in the broth.
Watch out for
Potatoes, croutons, significant amounts of tomato paste/puree, hidden sugars in broths or sauces, possible thickeners.
