Sfaxians consider stirring pasta or couscous grains straight into the broth their signature twist — most other Tunisian fish soups keep the starch on the side.
Sfax's take on Tunisian fish soup is bulked out with vermicelli or couscous grains simmered directly into a tomato-and-fish broth. It's a practical, everyday soup built from the city's huge daily catch.
Why it's made this way: Sfax is Tunisia's largest fishing port, and marka reflects that abundance — a way for fishing families to turn the day's catch into a filling, warming meal.
