A delicacy from the Bay of Paimpol with a long history ! The oyster industry saw significant development from the 19th to the 20th century, notably around Plouézec. From the 1950s, oyster farmers arrived from Morbihan, Charente and the Vendée, bringing with them new techniques. In 1975, the flat oyster was practically wiped out, and was progressively replaced by the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea Gigas).

 

Oysters can be eaten hot or cold !
