Port-en-Bessin And Le Marché Aux Poissons

Clams and sea snails and delicious, tender salicornes.




Sign for the locally made fish soup. I love his face!



Low tide.




It's étrille season, a tiny local crab that tastes like lobster. They were busy filling bag after bag with the live crabs for customers.




Port-en-Bessin is famous for its scallops, and there is evidence of that everywhere.




Local oysters from Asnelles-sur-Mer.

What do you do when the sun suddenly appears after days of gray skies and drizzle? You head to the sea and soak up some sun!

Photo du Jour - Along the Quai

Crates of Coquilles St. Jacques along the quai in Port-en-Bessin. Straight from the sea, heading to tables all over France. 

(a bit blurry as it was raining...it is Normandy after all!)
