Cotentin. Estelle and David launch their cannery, with a range of tempting terrines

It’s been more than a year sinceEstelle and David Roupsard working on the project family cannery.

A year of administrative procedures and development of a dedicated premises which has just resulted in a new activity which is added to that of porter for David on board his Grain of salt 2.

HASToday, it is therefore a new adventure for this passionate couple who decided to devote themselves to their activity of fishermen to which is now backed a cannery activity which is mainly based around a range of shellfishnecessarily caught locally and in an artisanal manner on board of Grain of salt 2 which, day and night, sets sail from the small beach of Vicq, in the village of Cosquevillein Vicq-sur-Mer.

High-end terrines

The Grain de Sel cannery is above all a range of terrines solely designed around the shellfish brought back by David.

Lobsters, spiders, crabs, curry combs to which are added other local seafood products, such as whelksscallops, mussels or even oysters.

On the other hand, the terrines are prepared without any addition of fish, and this is also what sets the range from the Grain de Sel cannery apart. The addition of fish masks the taste and above all reduces the intake of raw materials.

We strive to ensure that our terrines are exclusively designed by prioritizing the taste, texture and quality of the products offered. The recipes are homemade and were developed during test sessions, often blind, thanks to the participation of some of our customers.

The curry terrine soon to be certified

She emphasizes that the recipes are made with a little cream and some aromatics, and that there are also recipes dedicated to gluten intolerances.

Making Grain de Sel shellfish terrines is time-consuming in terms of peeling time, particularly that involving the curry combs.

“We spend hours around peeling sessions which are done by hand. But we aim to offer a range of terrines of high quality. The one with the curry combs is unique and we are in the process of label», specify Estelle and David.

But the days don’t end there for the couple with David who, every day, leaves aboard his boat. Then begins the work in the laboratory, without forgetting the local markets to which David and Estelle go throughout the week.
