Seafood Heaven - France

With its extensive coastline, seafood is one of Normandy's specialities, from shellfish to

lobster, clams, whelks, scallops, mussels and oysters from the Manche and Calvados.

Oysters are classified, like cheeses and wines, with their own AOC( Controlled Origin Name).

Seafood will feature on most menus from Dieppe to Alencon which often combine fish with the

region's other culinary specialities, such as Sauce a' la Creme or au Camembert.

Particular treats is Dieppe's fish stew, called Marmite Dieppoise or Port en Bessin's famous

Coquilles St. Jacques
