Authentic bouillabaisse’s flavor depends on combining many distinct rock fish species

Evidence

The reason is this: as the preparation requires a large variety of so-called rock fish, it is as well to make it as lavishly as possible in order to use as many different kinds as are available. Several of these fish have a characteristic taste, a unique perfume. It is upon the combination of all these different tastes that the success of the operation depends. — David, Elizabeth, Book of Mediterranean Food, 236
