Let's go for the party scallop and seafood from Port-en-Bessin-Huppain (Calvados).

The 20th edition of Goût du Large will bring life to the first artisanal fishing port in Normandy this Saturday November 9 and Sunday November 10, 2024.

The town of Port-en-Bessin is waiting (at least) 30,000 visitors during these two dedicated days to this tasty mollusk which is sold whole at €4.50/kg. Gourmands can leave with 10 kg of shells for €45.

A lower selling price of 50 cents compared to the previous edition and which demonstrates the desire not to make consumers pay for inflation and additional costs for fishermen (fuel, fishing gear, etc.).

A price well below the €6 per kilo of whole shell set during the Villers-sur-Mer festival on October 26 and 27 for shell extracted from the near exterior and not from the bay of the Seine as is the case for Le Goût du Large in Port-en-Bessin-Huppain this weekend.
