Fishmongers Fish and seafood France

At the beginning of the 18th century, fishermen's wives sold fish on the Minck, at the foot of the Leughenaer tower and right next to the fishing boats. In 1863, a covered market was built on the Minck. In 1902, a superb building was inaugurated and became the fish market, where the Bazennes (fishermen's wives) boasted the quality of their products. The building did not survive the war, but it is still possible to buy freshly landed fish at unbeatable prices at the aubettes! Four aubettes are regularly open.

A favorite address of the Petit futé and partner of several of our events in recent months, Les Perles de Tamaris is a guarantee of quality and above all eco-responsibility with privileged short circuits. Martial has a maritime diploma in shellfish farming from Sète, and specializes in oyster techniques in Polynesia. To guarantee the freshness of the shellfish, they are taken out of their last water a few hours before shipping. The Tamaris oysters, of various varieties, are fleshy and deliciously perfumed.

The Valouson, with its clear, fresh water, offers all the qualities Pascal Beuque is looking for. His aquaculture farm takes care of the different stages, from breeding, growing and cutting to the finished product. The rainbow trout is the queen of the ponds here. You can buy it gutted, in fillets, smoked and even fried trout. And as our man is enterprising, he prepares derived specialities: eggs in verrine, rillettes, terrines, quenelles, velvets. In season, the frogs are the delight of the greatest tables.

This family-run fishmonger's thirty years of expertise are evident on the plate, with fresh, tasty products. From the Petit Bé, Grand Bé and Cézembre seafood platters, there's plenty to delight you and keep you coming back for more. Everything is fresh and impeccably prepared. The house is also a cannery, with fish rillettes beautifully simmered with mustard, chives or even chorizo: the products are top-notch! A great address!

Freshly settled in Lorient, Marion and Mathieu offer a catering service based around the world of seafood and fish.

Side dishes are home-made in their workshop, and you can find them on Saturdays and Wednesdays in Merville, Sundays in Larmor-Plage and Thursdays in Saint-Pierre-Quiberon. A real treat!

The first oyster farm on the Bélon, the Oyster farms of the Château de Bélon were created in 1864. Since then, these famous oysters with a good taste of hazelnut (due to the mixture of fresh water and sea water) have conquered all palates. Today, the oysters of Bélon, flat or hollow, are always of great quality. Note that the Huitrières have been approved as an oyster farm as part of their "Bienvenue à la ferme" label.

This company, founded in 1921, continues to manufacture its products in the same way as it did then.

Direct from the sea, the fish shops on the Catalan coast are a must. Fish from local fisheries or from the oceans, seafood and ready-made dishes and take-away trays.
