It is in south Brittany, in the depth of Quiberon Bay, at
the estuary of the Crach river, that L'Ancre du
Dahl
have brought up for you flat french oysters, common oysters,
clams and queen scallops since 1990.
Settled in St Philibert, L'Ancre du Dahl
farms oyster-beds in deep water in Quiberon Bay and clams
fields in the Golfe of Morbihan.
These are natural products, which require no chemical subtances.
These shellfish belong to a coastal environment and should
be grown with the greatest care.
Flat oysters, Common oysters and queen
scallops
Flat oysters which are called belons
(scientific name : Ostrea Edulis) and common oysters (scientific
name : Crassostrea gigas) cohabit in Quiberon Bay
since 1970-1980. Indeed, two illnesses (Martellia and Bonamia)
have decimated flat oysters. A Few concerned oysters farmers,
not to let a produce of such quality disappear, have believed
in their rebirth.
Hence forth, they use mussel shells to favour flat oysters
catching.
Common oysters, have the particularity and
the great advantage to be almost the only one in Europe to
be in deep water which is very clean
and very rich in food and this makes them more
tasty. The young oysters are catching in the Arcachon
basin and in the Marennes Oleron basin. The young common oysters
as for the young flat oysters are sowed lying on the ground
in deep water where they stay at least two or three years.
Another shellfish, queen scallops, live
among oysters where they find refuge
inside empty shells. Queen scallops are refined in an unsinkable
basin however these would be purified before they are commercialized.
Clams
The clam is also a shell with thin and delicate flesh, small
clams are farmed in field totally covered in sand.
The fields are worked in order for clams to be harvested at
the age of two years and commercialized.
