Erquy
Julien in the last fish shop recommended us to visit this nearby town,
Erquy, a fishing harbour mainly for lobsters and scallops.
Indeed a pretty little town with
semicircular sandy bay and colourful fishermen's cottages along the waterfront.

This is the first time to have abalone in
France. Remove the flesh, discard internal organs, blanch in boiling water for
5 seconds to clean the outside. Slice and serve, crunchy with mild marine
taste.
This shrimp is found in the rocky area of
the shoreline and have to be collected by foot - "kicking" to expose the
shrimps. They only grow to maximum 1inch long, have the most striking red lines, small but meaty, and tasty.
