re: Soccer Recruits

It's expensive because it's become such a touristy thing here. You have all the fancy restaurants right around the Vieux Port claiming to have the best Bouillabaisse. They use a lot of weird fish, too. Try looking up scorpionfish, that thing looks exotic and expensive. A bowl will run you about 23 euros, but there are some lesser knock offs called "fish soup" that just don't have all of the fish that are "required" to make it a real Bouillabaisse. I haven't tried those yet. By the way, if you like French cooking you should try Raclette. It's basically your good ole meat and potatoes dish, plus cheese. It's simple and tasty.
