Boullibaise is a complex French seafood soup. I don't like seafood too much, just being a good midwesterner, I'll stick with sausage thanks, but the Boullibaise was so good, it even got me.
Noel and I wanted to cook with her grandma Char (that's her at the top of the page), for the blog. Char suggested the Boullibaise, so Noel and I went to Dirk's in Chicago for fresh seafood. The fish there is sushi grade, with sushi grade prices. We were going to get lobster tail, but at 60 dollars per pound, we opted for the live guy instead. A bargain at just 18 dollars per. The Dirk's guys people really helpful though. We even got to do an Oyster shooter - fresh Oyster in its own juices.
The Boullibaise also included grouper, mussels, clams, shrimp and scallops. Making the dish involved not only Noel and Char, but her parents, Chuck and Sue too.
Here are the Frickes in action!

Sounds expensive, but a very reasonable trip to the south of France - great company, great cooking, great memories. What's next you guys?
