Shellfish picking

Take the opportunity of a spring tide weekend to take up shellfish gathering ... 

Some advice

The more people go there, the more essential it is to be careful with the site, in order to ensure its durability!

The marine environment is fragile, and that is why restrictions have been implemented in order to avoid excessive destruction of marine fauna and flora. 
Except the fishing line held by hand, the use of which is free at all time, one is not allowed to use just any instrument.
Some are forbidden, others controlled, for the gathering of shells particularly, the use of forks or shovels is banned for the gathering of mussels that can only be gathered by hand.
Regarding the gathering of shells known as "burrowers" and also of Pacific oysters, the only authorised tools are the three prong rake and the claw cultivator.

Recipe idea

The clam: Can be eaten raw or cooked

To eat it raw:
Open from the front side if you want to cut it in two. (the front being the widest part of the shell)
Open from the back and turn your knife around the shell, if you prefer it whole.
To savour with a hint of pepper, bread and salted butter.
Regarding wine, Muscadet goes perfectly well with the sea flavour of the clam.


To eat it cooked:
Fry parsley and onions in butter. Put the clams in the mixture. They will open by themselves.
Sprinkle with white wine and add fresh cream of tomato puree. Serve hot.

Bon appétit !
