The Cote d\u2019\u00c9meraude stretches from Saint-Malo to Cap Fr\u00e9hel, where plenty of fishing goes on, and in Cancale\u00a0they produce more than 15,000 tons of oysters a year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vintagetravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/shutterstock_339246302-710x470.jpg\" alt=\"moules marinieres\" width=\"700\" height=\"463\" \/><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re heading to Brittany and are exciting about sampling the unique cuisine, how about trying these culinary delights\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bites of monkfish on wood skewers with tandoori spices, including cumin, coriander, red pepper and sheep&#8217;s-milk yogurt. Or a fresh lobster with Rocou sauce, tamarind and various spices. How about Moules marinieres steamed mussels with white wine and shallots. Lastly rock oysters and flat oysters, which are best eaten between September and April, served with salted butter rye bread, shallots, red wine vinegar and lemon.<\/li>\n<li>Les\u00a0Artichauds de Bretagne\u00a0(artichokes of Brittany), picked from May until November, are wonderfully tasty and so easy to prepare, either boiled or steamed. You can have them with tasty butter, or better still with\u00a0a\u00a0vinaigrette,\u00a0freshly made mayonnaise, or\u00a0cr\u00e8me\u00a0fraiche, better known as sour cream. A bowl of fresh cut French bread to mop up the juices and a good wine to freshen the pallet, ensures this dish is a delicious taste of Brittany.<\/li>\n<li>Feather light crepes with cream and fruits and\/or savoury buck wheat galettes, filled with cheese, ham, egg or almost anything you desire, is another gastronomy delight not to be missed. There is always a terrible temptation to return to the shop and buy another!<\/li>\n<li>Cold pork dishes and dried sausage pates of liver rabbit duck and goose are served in abundance in Brittany and are ideal as a mid meal snack or starter.<\/li>\n<li>Kouign Aman, a form of very sticky cake that has been caramelised and just oozing butter, is another Breton sweet that simply can\u2019t be ignored!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seafood lovers are in for a treat in Brittany, as much of the Breton cuisine involves freshly caught fish and shellfish.
