Cornish bouillabaisse

This bouillabaisse from Emily Scott is made with easy to access British ingredients like gurnard and mussels. It’s a one pot love letter to Cornish seafood, and the aioli adds punch, bringing the whole dish to life.
“This is my dream fishy supper – a seaside soirée just would not be the same without this showstopper, which is also great as a Sunday lunch. Cook with your favourite tunes and glass in hand… Use whatever fish and shellfish you like – I’ve used Cornish gurnard, mussels and prawns – to dress it up or down. I also make more aioli than is strictly necessary to celebrate this wonderful dish.”

Keep this as sustainable and local as possible, talk to your fishmonger about what is best to use. Once upon a time, it seemed only good enough to use as bait in lobster and crab pots, but gurnard has made a comeback over the last few years. A white, firm-fleshed fish, it works so well in stews and is a great fish to batter for your Friday fish supper. I will always champion the gurnard.
