Our production

Oysters

Our oysters from Cancale are well-known for their iodine taste and supple but firm flesh. The oysters are farmed in wire pockets on metal tables in the west of the bay (near Cancale) for between 2-4 years. We refine them slightly by keeping them in pools giving them a little extra taste which gives them their originality and us our reputation. They can be kept for up to 48 hours without special storage. Once prepared by us and placed in wooden boxes with seaweed to maintain freshness, they can be kept for up to 5 days.

Mussels

Our mussels are appreciated for their orange flesh, iodine and sweet taste and they have been awarded the AOP label (guaranteeing specific farming specificaions). They are farmed on wooden poles (called bouchots) in the east of the bay (in direction of the Mont Saint Michel) for between 18 – 24 months.

No packaging is needed to store them and they can be kept for up to 24 hrs. Beyond this period, a refrigerating bag or cool-box is needed for storage.

« Products from the land and sea direct from the bay. »

Our oysters and mussels are excellent organic products which feed on phyto-plankton (natural living organisms resulting from photosynthesis without human intervention. They constitute by their iodine content, mineral salts, revigorating vitamins and near total absence of cholesterol, a complete and healthy meal with few calories).
