Brittany leads the world in terms of the freshness of its seafood. Ultra-fresh oysters come mainly from Cancale, Saint-Brieuc, or Morlaix on the channel coast. Atlantic oysters come from the Morbihan estuaries. Even if oysters tend to be associated with family celebrations, they do in fact get eaten all year round in Brittany. Flat oysters come from the southern coasts, and the savoury hollow oysters are equally delicious. Take your pick!
Crepes (pancakes) are a typical Brittany speciality. Crepes de Froment from the west of the peninsular, and black flour galettes from upper Brittany, were both eaten by peasants in the last century, either with a slice of butter or simply an egg to accompany them.
