Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 600 g black mussels - debearded
  • 600 g large green prawns - cleaned with the heads reserved
  • 600 g firm white fish fillet - cut into thick strips
  • 2 cloves of fresh garlic - peeled
  • small handful of fresh parsley

  • 500 g chicken stock liquid - or 1 tbsp stock concentrate + 500 g or 17.6 oz water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 140 g tomato paste
  • 100 g tomato passata or puree
  • 5 g honey
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 50 g cream
  • Fresh basil for serving

Instructions

  • Prepare seafood and set aside, retaining prawn heads. It is better if your seafood is brought to room temperature before beginning.
  • Without washing the bowl from making the Rouille, add garlic, parsley, basil, thyme and saffron to mixer bowl, chop for 3 sec/speed 9/MC on.
  • Add leek, carrot and celery to mixer bowl, chop for 3 sec/speed 8/MC on.
  • Scrape bowl down, add butter and saute for 8 min/100°C or 212°F/speed 2/MC Off.
  • Add stock, bay leaf, tomato paste, tomato passata, honey and apple cider vinegar to mixer bowl.
  • Insert simmering basket and put reserved prawn heads into the simmering basket. Cook for 20 min/100°C or 212°F/speed 3/MC on.
  • Put mussels in the bottom steaming tray, with prawns layered on top. Place fish in a single layer on to top steaming steaming tray. Steam for 10 min/steaming temp/speed 4 or until done.
  • Remove seafood to thermal server to keep warm and finish cooking.
  • Using tongs, pick out the prawn heads from the simmering basket and discard. Remove the simmering basket and put any left over "bits" into the mixer bowl.
  • Add cream to mixer bowl and blend bisque for 1 min/speed 9/MC on.
  • Serve bisque in a shallow bowl with seafood presented, fresh cracked pepper and freshly torn basil leaves. Spoon Rouille into the soup while eating or smeared on crusty fresh baguette.

Notes

You can use whichever seafood you prefer, just adjust cooking times.
Some types of firm white fish are blue eye trevalla, ling fish, monk fish, snapper and shark. I used blue eye trevalla.
I recommend you prepare your seafood before you start cooking so that it has a chance to come to room temperature.

  1. Delicious! Great depth of flavour and creaminess – we all loved it! Thanks so much for your recipes – Skinnymixers makes me love my Thermie 🙂

  2. This is amazing. That bisque is so smooth and perfect I could eat a whole TM full of that alone. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Nik xxx

  3. Thank you for such amazing recipes! My French in-laws are super impressed with the Bisque and Chocolate Fondant I made tonight. Love your recipes and looking forward to trying all of them. Thank you 🙂

  4. Made this last night and it wAs so flavoursome – we loved it – your recipes are awesome – thank you – I’m going to slowly make my way through them all

  5. Yet another recipie that is just awesome!
    I used a marinara mix to keep the cost down.
    Nik is not just about curries – but good flavoursome healthy foods.
    Keep on cooking

  6. What an amazing dish!!! It was so tasty – it’s better than any I’ve had in a restaurant. Will definitely be making this again

  7. This is amazing and so versatile. Made it with prawns scallops and blue eye.
    The crusty bread and rouille is a must. Rouille is no extra effort and so worth it. Yum thanks Nik.

  8. I absolutely LOVED this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing. my 9 year old son (who enjoys good food) can not stop praising this dish!

  9. We have just finished gorging ourselves on the Skinnymixers Seafood Bisque with Rouille…if you haven’t tried it yet & are a lover of seafood – do yourself a favour & give it a go.

    After re-reading he recipe I forgot to add the leek, carrot & celery & it was still Devine!

    Yummo!

  10. This was a delicious Seafood Bisque. I had some clams so added these as well. A perfect starter to impress friends at a dinner party. Thank you for all your hard work.

  11. Another skinnymixers clever recipe !
    Enjoyed by 4 adults tonight, rouille is to die for, I skipped dessert and had more rouille on crusty bread after dinner!

  12. This is delicious. I have made it twice now. Once without the cream and both times it was amazing. Think I need to try it again !!

  13. I made this for dinner last night for myself and my seafood loving boyfriend and it was an absolute hit! We both loved the flavours and it was so easy to cook.

    The rouille we spread on crusty bread but also used it as part of our antipasto platter too.

    I’ll definitely be making it again.

  14. Yum yum yum. Made this for Good Friday dinner and it was to die for. Everyone loved it. The only thing I changed was the chicken stock used veggie stock instead to elimate the meat.

  15. The best good Friday dinner ever. This was absolutely a restaurant quality dish. It took a little longer than I thought but mostly prepping seafood, Pesky mussels took a lot of scrubbing but loved the inclusion of them, They were delicious and added to presentation. I used ling fish and it was beautiful. Well worth the effort and judging by the sighs & orgasmic noises coming from hubby while eating, it was a definite winner. Made focaccia to accompany & dolloped some rouille on bread and a little to broth at the table. Good pinch of extra hot cayenne gave it a nice kick. Can’t praise this dish enough. Will definitely make again and be better organised with prep.

  16. SENSATIONAL!!!! We enjoyed the seafood bisque as our Good Friday dinner with friends. They were very impressed!! Served with a side Caesar salad (wink Nik) and raspberry fruity dream for dessert. Seriously the bisque was yum yum yum!

  17. Another amazing recipe! Definitely worth getting a light tasting olive oil as our normal olive oil was a bit overpowering in the rouille. Still delish though!

  18. WOW!! This was amazing!! Looks like a lot of work but really the only hardish part was shelling the prawns.

    I can’t believe that this beautiful meal was made with mostly pantry ingredients. I only had to buy the seafood. I like seafood but don’t love it but this is totally worth the investment. Its also heaps of seafood (I used calamari instead of mussels)… so if you are turned off buy the cost of fish etc you could easily cut it back and save some $$…

    If you love a soup do yourself a favour and have a go!!!

  19. Made this meal tonight. Wow! It’s another winner. So tasty. I served it with crusty bread warmed in the oven. Just lovely. Perfect for a dinner party but simple enough to make on a weeknight too. Thanks for sharing.

  20. Fantastic effort once again, Nik! From someone who isn’t a big fan of seafood, it looks fab and I’m still going to make an effort to make it! x
