Fishmongers Fish and seafood Manche

First and foremost, it's a feast for the eyes: this splendid fishmonger's in the heart of Granville offers you all the wonders of the sea. But Frésil Marée also offers magnificent seafood platters (with several options to choose from). As you'll have gathered, Frésil Marée is one of the town's leading restaurants, with a catering service that includes seafood paella, stuffed prawns and other seafood dishes available on the spot or to order. A benchmark.

Five trawlers from Cherbourg, Maribelise, Maranatha II, Marie-Catherine II and Boree-Al (called Armement Cherbourgeois) sail the Channel: they are the cornerstone of Godaille.com. Behind this name, a simple idea: order from the boats in a short circuit. Advantages: optimal freshness and attractive prices. The principle? You place your order on the site, it is received via satellite by the trawlers, and is delivered to your home the next day. The website, very well done, is very easy to use.

Who doesn't know the Viviers du Becquet? Here, for years, they have been producing countless shellfish in basins - including incredible lobsters, and the giant crab which alone is worth a photo! The whole thing is of course excellent. For a few months now, the place has opened its own store, with the possibility to come and buy on the spot. Thus, you can now, from Tuesday to Sunday, come and buy directly from the producer.

A visit to the salmon factory in Granvillais is a terribly interesting experience, and well worth your time! After all, smoking is no mean feat: it's a skill. In addition to this stage, maturing, slicing and salting are all highlights that will give you a good idea of how such good things end up on your plate. At last, you'll be able to enjoy delicious sushi made on the spot!

It's hard to resist. Freshness goes hand in hand with the excellence of the products, and nothing could be more normal, since here, they sell directly from the producer to the consumer: the ideal way to guarantee the origin and the freshness! The oysters of Utah Beach and the mussels of Bouchot are the stars of the place, but the place is also specialised in seafood platters: impressive and which really give envy. Located in the shellfish area of Sainte-Marie, the place is very easy to access, and Pascal Hamel will welcome you with professionalism.

A fishmonger's shop that revolutionises the genre and does not stop at selling seafood: that is the principle of this Roger Marée HQ! Behind this sign, Julien Créach: after having walked the local markets for years to sell local shellfish, here he is at the head of his establishment. You will find here fresh and carefully selected products, but also well-prepared dishes - the place is also a caterer - and an oyster bar. The concept has already met its public: logical!

The Saumonier Cherbourg is the only salmon farm in the harbour in France. The salmon is farmed in pure waters, is fed thanks to specifically designed sustainable fishing and is not subjected to any chemical products. This gives its flesh a natural, firm and tasty texture. A range of smoked products is also available: haddock, cold-smoked mackerel, hot-smoked and scented mackerel, etc. You can also visit the premises, including the aquaponic farm.

Nicolas Allain's story is a pretty one, with his fish rillettes packaged in colourful cabins, a symbol of the town's waterfront. For several years now, in partnership with a chef he met in Brittany, the entrepreneur has been offering a wide range of products: sea bream with thyme, gilthead bream with garlic cream, mackerel with mustard, the flavours combine to perfection! Where can you find these tasty little nuggets? Simple: at the Gouville supermarket (its name is on the P'tites Cabines website!).

Oysters are the specialty of the house, the proof, with such a name, you had realised it! These charming young ladies with such renowned virtues - we are talking about oysters here - are bred directly in the oyster beds that have made the reputation of Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue and its surroundings. From the city on the east coast to Cherbourg, there is only one step, which these oysters cross! New atmosphere, new decoration for the 2021 season!

The west coast represents the most important shellfish basin in Normandy. In the heart of this basin, the Cabanor groups together about fifty seafood producers. It is one of the sites where all the operations of breeding, refining, and marketing of oysters are carried out: washing, splitting, grading, and putting in stuffing boxes. Finally, you can visit the facilities: the site, of course, but also the showroom.

What better place to buy and taste oysters than the port of Saint-Vaast? If oysters are tasted a bit like good wine, we are not disappointed here. The Lesdos-Allaire house regularly offers you the opportunity to taste some of them, but also invites you to discover a whole range of marine taste products on sale in the shop: mussels, preserves, soups, and even samphire! Tip is not an empty word here.

A rare expertise, and products of immense quality: the Sea Frais workshop, located in Dragey, is indeed an expert in salmon smoking. This is where the fish arrive from Ireland, Scotland and above all Norway, to be smoked according to the rules of the art. Under the watchful eye of Luan Cronin, who keeps the techniques used a closely guarded secret, the finished products are of unrivalled finesse. To find them, the place not only has a great store, but also a particularly well thought-out website.

The Martin family has been at the helm of the Thalassa Tradition company for several decades, producing famous and reputed oysters. For a few months now, the company has also had its own sales outlet in the Blainville shellfish farming area. Offering a wide range of oysters - there is something for every taste - but also many other shellfish, the shop, dressed in wood, is open from Monday to Friday. The welcome is top-notch, as are the products! We highly recommend the place.

A reference to these oysters from Jean Rouvière, who, under the name Father Gus, produces some of the best oysters in Normandy. Aged for three years on about forty hectares of land punctuated by tides that are among the most important in Europe, they are full of taste, juicy as they should be, always tasty. And then, as we do things well here, we welcome you to a real oyster bar, away from the city. This well-thought-out place allows you to enjoy oysters and a drink in a magical setting.

Run by Sophie and David Leroy, already known in the business for offering an online fish sales service, this fishmonger's is a must in the east of the city. Offering fish from Cherbourg's fishing boats, you will find here fish directly from the port of Cherbourg, oysters from Normandy, many local products, dishes prepared on site and splendid seafood platters. Freshness guaranteed, and good prices!
