Looking at that antipasto of lake fish - one of my favourite dishes in France is the assiette de fruits de mer - including crab, winkles, clams, langoustines etc etc... Takes about two hours to eat and you need tools but oh boy... The nicest one I had was in Reims which is nowhere near the sea... I have that while Richard has his steak tartare which is something else you can't find in this country.

It grieves me that now I live by the sea, shellfish here are almost non-existent - apart from the ubiquitous potted shrimps - which to me are a crime against shellfish and quite disgusting.

When I lived in Accy in the 50s/60s we used to get crabs and winkles and stuff on the market for Saturday tea - is there still a stall doing things like that?
