Langoustines

Langoustines

Do you know the pink gold of Finistère? This is the langoustine, a speciality ofLoctudy. The arrival of the fishing vessels and daily sales at the auction are worth a visit. Living langoustines are caught daily in the Grande Vasière area.
Nature with mayonnaise or cooked with spices, this “beautiful lady” is simply a treat! In Plobannalec-Lesconil, a party is even dedicated to it at the beginning of August (entrance is free).

The Kouign Aman

The famous butter cake (kouign “  cake  “, amann ”  butter  “) is a staple of Breton cuisine. To devour a kouign aman that is both crispy and soft, nothing could be simpler.  : direction the bakeries of Finistère!
