Cotriade (Kaoteriad in Breton) is a fish stew specialty from the French region of Brittany that is made with different kinds of fish as well as potatoes, onions, and garlic.[1] Oily fish are typically used, such as herring, sprats, and mackerel. Unlike Bouillabaisse, another French stew, it usually does not contain shellfish. It is traditionally served by pouring it over a toasted baguette. Other breads may also be used.[2]

It is also very prominent in other French regions surrounding Brittany due to its access to the sea.

It is known in the UK as Brittany Fish Stew.[3]
