Bouillabaisse with Garlic Aioli
Traditional Fish and Seafood Stew with Aioli (no croutons)
Yes, with a tweak: no croutons or bread. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic Provençal fish stew featuring various local fish and shellfish simmered in a fragrant broth of tomatoes, saffron, herbs, and olive oil. Served with a dollop of garlic aioli, but without the traditional rouille (which often contains potato or bread) and croutons.
Key ingredients
Assorted firm-fleshed fish (e.g., snapper, sea bass, monkfish), shellfish (mussels, shrimp), olive oil, onions, leeks, tomatoes, garlic, saffron, fennel, herbs (thyme, bay leaf), fish broth, salt, pepper. Aioli (egg yolk, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice).
How to make it keto
Crucially, no croutons or bread. Request plain garlic aioli and confirm rouille, if served, does not contain potato or bread. Inquire about any potato in the stew base.
Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour la Bouillabaisse, pas de croûtons ni de pain, s'il vous plaît. Je voudrais une aïoli nature. La rouille contient-elle de la pomme de terre ou du pain ? Y a-t-il des pommes de terre dans le bouillon ?
No croutons or bread with the Bouillabaisse. I'd like plain garlic aioli. Does the rouille or stew base contain potato or bread?
Watch out for
Croutons and bread are standard. Rouille sometimes contains potato or bread; confirm ingredients. Tomato, onion, and leek content can be significant.
