Brittany Seafood
Could there be anything simpler and more natural than a generous seafood platter, accompanied by a fine gourmet sauce, fresh citrus and a glass of delicious wine?
A fresh seafood platter is a specialty of the Brittany region of France. Traditionally served on a bed of wrack, the seafood platter is full of variety and amazing delights.
When you take the time to shell a langoustine, or to fish out the savory flesh from a crab's pincer, you really feel you are on holiday.
In Brittany, your seafood platter will depend on the fishermen's catch. The composition of a seafood platter is just as changing as the beautiful Breton skies.
As a general rule a Brittany seafood platter will include at least three prime category items (langoustines, rock or spider crabs, oysters, velvet swimming crabs, prawns and shrimps), and as many second category items (a variety of clams, winkles, whelks, galatheas, mussels, or queen scallops).

If a fresh seafood platter is not your style, Breton chefs make many delicious fish dishes that will tantalize your senses. Delicate sauces, fresh fish and innovative vegetable dishes are sure to please.
All in all Brittany is a seafood lovers paradise.
