Shellfish tour of Brittany/Normandy, France - stop 2

Guilvinec

This is the place to be in France to have the most fresh live langoustines. Fishing boats go out every morning and return at around 4pm.

 After auctioning, the langoustines will arrive at fish shops around 7 pm. 

Fish shop - Poissonnerie le Dundee
 

Purchase:
Langoustine (live) - euro 20/kg
Brown crab (live)-euro 6/kg, bought a 1.5kg female one for 9 euro.
Scallop(live)-euro 7/kg, around euro 1 each

I like to steam langoustine for just a minute, the flesh is sweet and firm. 

Equally good to eat the next day in a cold salad or warm up with a little butter.

Brittany scallop is transported live to every corner in France, it is an affordable delicacy from November to April.

Great both raw and quick seared both sides, sweet with a dense jelly texture.

Steamed this 1.5 kg female crab for 20 minutes.

Full of bright red coral, and firm meat, very filling, but not really that tasty compared with other species of crab.
