BOUILLABAISSE

By Manuela | January 9, 2017 | InAll Recipes, Blog, General, Mains, Uncategorized

We are in Tilba on the South Coast and one of our traditions, when here, is to make bouillabaisse.
The day is spent foraging the beach for mussels, seaweed and any other delicacies we can finde.
Fishing on this day is taken very serious! (although I do go and visit my local fish shop, just in case….)
This time is really special, as my friend Felix, the owner and chef of ‘Bei Amici’ restaurant, is staying with us and his son Max.Birri has invited some of his friends and Juliet is here as well. So we have a full house!
