Herring Potato SaladSaur, plain, smoked, in salads, fermented or filleted, there’s something for everyone!
In the Middle Ages, herring was an important foodstuff for the peoples of Northern Europe, who used it as a currency in the same way as salt and spices. Preserved in salt, herring fed populations almost year-round.
In fact, herring is still smoked and processed in saltworks using a technique inherited from the Vikings.
When to eat herring?
The taste of herring changes with the seasons. We recommend eating it from October to January, when it’s at its tastiest!
Normandy is France’s leading scallop fishing region, and Fécamp is the port that catches the most scallops!
With its melt-in-the-mouth “Label Rouge” meat, scallops are one of the region’s finest delicacies.
It can be eaten raw (tartar, carpaccio) or cooked (pan-fried, roasted or poached). Rich in iron, zinc, magnesium and vitamins, why deprive yourself?
When to eat scallops?
Scallop fishing is open from October 1 to May 15.
It is celebrated during “La Grande Débarque”.
Did you know?
To defend the quality of their scallops, the Normans have obtained two red labels:

Mussels A La Normande

Herring Festival 2019 N°38With their shiny black shells and melt-in-your-mouth, flavorful flesh, mussels delight the taste buds of young and old alike!
To make the most of the taste of this seafood, we recommend the recipe for Moules Marinières.
For the more original, you can choose mussels with curry, garlic or coconut milk, or cooked in risotto, au gratin, paella or stuffed in the oven.
What’s the right season for mussels?
Mussels are in season in summer! Rope mussels are available from May to August, and bouchot mussels from July to February.
Rich in trace elements, proteins, vitamins and omega-3s, oysters have a multitude of benefits.
We recommend opening them 30 minutes before eating. And to enjoy them without losing their aroma, avoid placing them on ice.
Oysters can also be served hot: steamed, baked, poached or skewered. But be careful not to exceed the cooking time: no more than 5 minutes!
When to eat oysters?
You can eat oysters from September to March.
From April to August, oysters are in reproduction, which makes the flesh milky.

And for the accompaniments?
Include bread and semi-salted butter, mayonnaise (preferably homemade!), shallot vinegar and lemon wedges. If you want to go off the beaten track, you can opt for a seaweed, chilli or citrus butter.

For an aperitif, let yourself be tempted by fish rillettes.
