- Make the stock: heat the olive oil in a stockpot, add the onion and sweat for 5 minutes.
- Add the shrimp shells, fish bones, leek, thyme, garlic, carrot, celery, fennel and tomatoes, then cover with the water or stock by about 2 inches.
- Bring to a boil, reduce to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour at most.
- Strain the stock and discard the vegetables and bones.
- Make the bouillabaisse: in a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion until light golden brown.
- Add the fennel, leeks, saffron and Chardonnay, and boil until only 3/4 cup of wine remains.
- Add the tomatoes, garlic, stock, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.
- Add the scallops and wait 2 to 3 minutes, then add the halibut, grouper and snapper, and the shrimp.
- Cook for 10 minutes, or until all the seafood is cooked to your liking. Adjust the seasoning with black pepper and salt.
- Divide the seafood among deep bowls, pour the stock over, and serve with garlic croutons and aioli.
- Make the rouille: in a food processor, combine the mustard, egg yolks, saffron and garlic, then slowly add the olive oil until it reaches a mayonnaise consistency.
- Add the bell pepper, bread, salt and pepper and blend until combined.
