The Bay is full of other culinary gems <\/strong>culinary nuggets<\/strong> who are just waiting to be known and recognized as much as their sisters! So, open all your senses and follow us on this gourmet journey!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FROM THE ENTRANCE \ud83d\ude0b\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First step of our journey: Fumette<\/a>.<\/strong> This company based in L\u00e8ge-Cap Ferret also offers smoked fish\u2026 but cold<\/strong> ! It is with this more classic method that the company has chosen to work around local fish such as sea bream, sea bass or even mullet<\/strong> for which cold smoking is carried out on a beech wood base<\/strong>. The advantage of Fumette<\/strong> : sourcing 100 local %<\/strong>, around a sustainable fishing<\/strong> (small boats, passive and selective fishing methods), with a species enhancement<\/strong> less noble but more abundant<\/strong> like the mule. Their approach is subtle in the process of transformation, with salting and light smoking,<\/strong> in a way to get as close as possible to the taste of the original fish<\/strong>, while fetching a longer shelf life thanks to salt and smoke<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another flagship product of the Bassin which will accompany and sublimate many dishes: caviar from home Pearlita<\/a>.<\/strong> Company established on the Bassin, more precisely in Teich, the aquaculture farm exists since the 90s,<\/strong> making it one of the three pioneer companies in this sector. Perlita caviar comes from sturgeons born and raised within the Teich farm itself, thus making their caviar a local and high quality 100% product<\/strong>. The company also holds the label Living Heritage Company (EPV)<\/strong> which distinguishes French companies with artisanal and industrial know-how of excellence in various trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let's cross the Bassin towards Biganos at Kalalathi<\/a>,<\/strong> a company of hot smoking fish<\/strong> ! Innovative proposal knowing that more than 90% fish are cold smoked<\/strong>. This method originating in Scandinavia<\/strong> has been imported on the Bassin by a couple of enthusiasts<\/strong> which offers various hot-smoked fish, especially Sturgeon Caviar<\/strong>, coming directly from'<\/strong>Perlita Sturgeon Hatchery<\/strong><\/a> at Teich! They are moreover present in the markets<\/strong> around to introduce their products and their original method to as many people as possible. Here, the smoked sturgeon is sublimated on a slice of rye bread, delicately grilled with garlic and chive flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A good entry would not be really good without the pearl of the Bassin: Oyster<\/strong><\/a> ! Queen of our tastings, it is one of our culinary treasures of the region<\/strong>, especially when accompanied by one of the many beers of the famous brewery at la chim\u00e8re<\/strong> ! An alliance between these two products which may surprise but which nevertheless works wonderfully since it was developed in collaboration with seafood professionals<\/strong> !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another essential of our French gastronomy: the bread<\/strong> ! And when it comes to bread, we take things very seriously and we favor quality! So we turned to one of the most famous bakeries in Bassin! There you can find baguettes of course, pastries and other pastries, but also special breads like their delicious rye pie to taste with our seafood<\/strong> for a perfect wedding\u2026 Something to please everyone, you'll understand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in continuity quality products<\/strong> used for our lunch, we made a stop at The Greenhouse O Delights<\/strong><\/a> in Biganos to provide us with some originality to enhance our dishes. Indeed this nursery offers more than 130 varieties of edible plants such as chives, coriander and parsley<\/strong> for the most classic, but also little or even unknown names and varieties such as the Japanese crosne, the chocolate cosmos or the vegetable oyster<\/strong>. Enough to open our taste buds to new flavors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's not forget the drink part in this menu with Abatilles water<\/a><\/strong>. Drawn from the neighborhood that bears its name, the natural mineral water of Abatilles has been bottled on the Bassin of Arcachon for almost 100 years<\/strong> ! A pride of the region!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
