“The oysters here are incredible. Most of the best oysters in France come from Normandy, and we're in Normandy. The last oyster we'll have in this series on France was a spectacle. They reminded me of the image of taking off your shoes and putting your feet in the water, they're that good.”

The oysters here are incredible. Most of the best oysters in France come from Normandy, and we're in Normandy. The last oyster we'll have in this series on France was a spectacle. They reminded me of the image of taking off your shoes and putting your feet in the water, they're that good.
Crocchette di Merluzzo
These cod croquettes are an atomic bomb. We're both eating them. Look at the structure of this fillet.
Filetto di Sgombro al Pepe
The mackerel fillet with pepper is excellent.
Salmone Ripieno di Patate e Verdure
This salmon is stratospheric. It's very sweet. They told us that salmon here should look pale like this because there's a farm that feeds the salmon only naturally, and the meat is not artificially colored to look more appealing. When they eat pink shrimp, the meat becomes that pink color, not brighter.
Gamberetti Grigi
These gray shrimp, you eat them whole. You remove the head and they're a sea candy. I want to taste one of these. They're amazing despite the wind and March in Normandy.
