Fishmongers Fish and seafood Normandy

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.

Do you dream of a dozen oysters, mussels, langoustines or a handful of shrimps? Go to Le Vivier. You will fill up with iodine, all year round, even on Sundays, morning and afternoon. Since 1958 and three generations, the Colleville family has been treating you to shellfish and seafood straight from their water. Take the time to walk around the basins in the basement of the house. Le Vivier also has a tasting room, "La Cabane du Vivier", installed on the same level facing the sea...

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!

In their workshop on Rue de la Résistance, Jean-Marc Ledot and Olivier Devant practice the trade of saurisseur. Here, the finest fish is filleted, salted, smoked with string, and sliced by hand. The flagship of the house is the Flacky salmon pavé: a Label Rouge Scottish salmon which, once trimmed and skinned, is cooked and smoked simultaneously. A pure delight. Le Saumonier's expertise can also be enjoyed in downtown Bayeux, thanks to the opening of a new boutique on Rue Saint-Patrice.

The Morin fish store is very well known and offers seafood lovers everything they can dream of, including seafood platters, hot or cold cooked dishes, crustaceans, and oysters and mussels. No wonder the establishment has received the Mercure from And rewarding the know-how, the welcome and the impeccable freshness of the products. In order not to hurt a clientele who likes to make a detour from more meat-flavoured flavours from time to time, the fish store also offers the possibility to supply cooked meat, like the calf's cutlet and its cream sauce, or the veal blanquette. The establishment has a catering activity.

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.

You don't have to go very far to get ultra-fresh fish downtown. In the heart of the Place du Vieux-Marché, under the covered market, among the tourists who stroll relentlessly, the refrigerated trucks shuttle very early to bring the Normandy coasts of fish caught in the night. From the refrigerated vats to the stalls, there is only one movement and here are the seafood products 100% made in Normandy elegantly displayed on the stalls. An unmissable seafood delicatessen!

The reputation of this fishmonger is well-established. People come here from all over the agglomeration to get their clams, mussels, pink or grey shrimps, oysters, lobsters, shellfish, and prestigious fish from the Normandy coastline. Service, quality, welcome, these are the credo of Beatrice and Pascal for whom the customer must, above all, enjoy their products. The couple also proposes simple and varied recipes prepared by the whole team.

Le Grand Bleu is the drop-off point for fish from the La Persévérance trawler operating in the English Channel. Short circuit guaranteed! On their stall: mackerel, sole, turbot, brill, sea bass, monkfish or scallops. These are local or red label products (yes, because we don't fish pink shrimp from Madagascar in the Channel yet!) that were taken out of the sea no more than 48 hours ago! You can also order (online or on site) a seafood platter, dishes prepared by a chef, or a discovery box featuring seasonal fish.

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.

Well hidden, like all good addresses, the Julien Marée fish market is run with a master's hand by a true enthusiast ready to share his know-how. The ideal place for lovers of good fishing and seafood platters. The artisanal put forward, to you the shellfish and the fish of our coasts: freshness and quality above all and for all the budgets! Tasting at any time of the day, because you can't order whelks!

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!).

Michel Vérel's reputation has not dried up at the end of Paris for more than thirty years. This former high seas tug works with fishermen in France. On the completely renovated stalls, you can find good fish and shellfish. Among the most popular offerings are the preparation and filleting of fish.

Poisons for the frutti, the place, a dozen langoustines, the Saint-Jacques shells to up, some shrimp for children, the roussette for Friday and oysters during the holidays.
