Indulge in the authenticity of an exceptional delicacy: the Palourde (Ruditapes philippinarum), a true iodine-rich jewel of our coastline. Nestled in the heart of the Mont Saint-Michel Bay, these clams thrive in a unique ecosystem where some of the world’s most powerful tides occur. This constant movement of water provides the shellfish with unparalleled finesse and purity.
Traditional Craftsmanship
Respectful of the environment and the natural rhythm of the tides, our clams are hand-harvested using traditional coastal fishing methods. Each specimen is carefully selected by passionate fishers who roam the foreshore at low tide. This gentle harvesting method not only ensures the preservation of the seabed but also guarantees absolute freshness: from the sand to your table, the journey is direct.
Taste Profile & Serving Suggestions
Recognizable by its sturdy, ridged shell and generous meat, the clam offers a texture that is both firm and meltingly tender. On the palate, it delivers an explosion of subtle, naturally sweet marine flavors.
