Various: "Appreciating the bounty of the sea" Top 5 Page for this destination Saint-Malo Restaurant Tip by CatherineReichardt

(work in progress)
The coastline of Bretagne is famed for the quality of their seafood, and having self sacrificingly undertaken some market research in this regard, I can quite understand why!

I have now lived in a warmer climate for half my life, where shellfish tend to grow more quickly then they does in cooler water, but I have to question whether this comes at a cost to their flavour.

The best example for me are the delicious crevettes which typify Breton seafood for me. These utterly delectable prawns (shrimp) are smaller than their tropical cousins, but they are amongst the most delicious things that I've ever eaten, with sweet flesh still permeated by the salty tang of the sea.

Want to sample these for yourself but can't afford a fancy seafood restaurant? No problem - I simply buy a couple of hundred grammes worth of precooked crevettes in one of fish shops or delicatessens and treat myself to an upmarket picnic!

P.S. The scallops are pretty good too, but unfortunately I have yet to discover a budget-friendly way of enjoying these!
