Sorry, that’s the best I can do. I stuck aigosau into Google and came up with a French site which my Bill Gates special purported to translate and that was it.

Roy: I don’t recall fennel at all in the bouliabase at Napi’s and neither does hubby! In fact we can’t remember a fennel flavor in ANY bouliabase we’ve had anywhere! But…maybe that’s the trick…to have that subtle "indescribable" flavor in something and not know what it is but you know it shuld be there! Hope I’m making sense here! LOL Happy eating! KokomoJoe

For what it’s worth, James Beard does not include fennel in his bouillabaise, but he does include it in what he calls " Aigo-sau", a south of France fish soup similar to Bouillabaise . I cant find his
aigo-sau in any other of my cook books. Makes me wonder what that would translate to in English?

Accoding to the google search I did, egg soup. I couldn’t get the url to work so I copied the text and pasted below.

a�go sau of iou (egg soup)

This soup is called soup with egg (literal translation of aigo-sau of iou) or one-eyed bouillabaisse. I propose here a receipt slightly different from that given traditionally.

ingredients for 4 people:
3 leeks, 3 average onions, 8 cloves of garlic, some chicken ornaments, 2 tomatos wall, 4 eggs, 8 sections of farmhouse bread, 2 sheets of bay-tree, parsley, salt, pepper, olive oil

receipt:
Wash vegetables. Peel and �mincez onions and the white of leek. Clean, �p�pinez and crush tomatos. In a pot put olive oil; make sweat onions then the leeks and then the tomatos. Reserve.

Make return slightly the poultry ornaments. Put in a pot 2 liters of water and the poultry then carry to boiling. Foam. Add the bay-tree, the vegetables, pepper, salt, leave mijoter until complete cooking, (the vegetables must be quite tender). Add parsley, rectify the seasoning.
Peel and d�germez garlic then cross out of discs and make gild in olive oil.
Pass the bubble and pour on well gilded garlic.

Poach eggs at the last time in soup with very soft fire during 3 minutes. At the time of being used lay out in each plate a section as bread gilded with the furnace; place poached egg above and largely sprinkle bubble.

Roy: In Provincetown MA there is a restaurant called "Napi’s"! The bouliabase is the BEST!!! So is everything else! If you’re really going to go there I’ll send more details! Happy eating! KokomoJoe

I am sorry I do not know much about soup on New England, but I bet someone here does.

I just wanted to comment on how much I enjoy seeing Bouillabaise stuck in between "favorite hog parts" and "chicken fried steak". What a diverse little group we are[;)][:D][:p]

edited because I am too stupid to spell bouillabaise[:0]
