Cancale Plate
About Cancale Plate
The prized flat oyster of Cancale, Brittany, dredged directly from the seabed in the middle of the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel rather than raised in the tidal parks like its cupped Creuse neighbor.
In plain words: briny, mineral, iodine, nutty, firm, with salt bomb salt.
