Crab Rechad and Bouillabaisse

If you've lived in Bombay on the Western railway line, and like Goan/Malabari cuisine, chances are you've been to Soul Fry in Pali Hill. Soul Fry used to be one of our regular haunts when we lived in Bandra, and I'm extremely partial to their spicy Crab Rechad, a Goan crab dish, and their equally spicy Bloody Mary's. A couple of weeks ago Moosh and I went on a seafood buying frenzy at our local Giant and ended up with our take on Crab Rechad (see below)....

...and Bouillabaisse (see above). While Bouillabaisse is often defined as a traditional Provençal fish stew originating from the port city of Marseille, it is essentially a hearty seafood stew that can be found in coastal communities all over the world. Take equal parts seafood, vegetables, broth, add herbs and spices, hey presto you've got some of the best tasting seafood stew around.
