This recipe was a hit on Christmas with three VERY DISCRIMINATING Sicilian men! I substituted Tilapia for the 2 fishes, but the rest remained the same. What a winner for my debut Bouillabaisse! Thank you!

This is so wonderful and so easy to make that I made it my Christmas Eve traditional dinner for my family. This will be the third year making it and it doesn't get any better than this! I serve it with crusty french bread and a salad of greens,red onions and orange segments, with a orange vingerette.
