What appetizers to serve before Bouillabaisse?

Generally speaking, I’d serve something creamy and/or crunchy (on baguette slices). Some ideas:


Smoked Trout Pate (I like fish with fish)

Fruit and cheese: pears, apples and/or figs with great cheeses and good, plain bread or crackers

Anchovy puffs, https://food52.com/recipes/15331-anchovy-puffs, or pissaladieres, https://food52.com/recipes/26404-mini-pissaladieres

The first word above should be "Choose". Also serve a dry champagne.

Copse 1-3 of the following: Morbier cheese-figs-tiny red champagne grapes - pate with toast points-triple cream cheese on toasted baguette---grape tomatoes-
