For the sauce:

Season with salt, a generous pinch of cayenne pepper and saffron. Stir in the bell pepper paste. Add the oil, drop by drop and whisk until creamy. Adjust seasoning.

For the soup:
Fillet the fish, cut the fillets into bite sized pieces and set aside. From the 2 kg fish you will gain 1 kg fillets maximum.

In a large pot sauté the bones, fins, heads and skins of the fish together with the vegetables, garlic and herbs. Deglaze with the wine and simmer for a minute. Add 1.25 litres of water and bring to a boil. Skim off any scum, then add bay leaves, peppercorns and cloves. Cook over low heat for half an hour, then strain through a sieve and collect the stock in a saucepan.

Add saffron and the fish pieces to the stock and reheat. Cook over low heat for a few minutes until the fish is cooked. Check seasoning and correct if necessary.

Ladle the Bouillabaisse into soup plates and serve with baguette and the Rouille.
