Eva Longoria: Searching for France
S1 E4
News & Factual40 minHDSADFinished
Eva and her Breton guide Tanguy Thomassin explore the vast oyster beds of Cancale, oyster capital of Brittany. Being pummelled by one of the highest tides in Europe makes for fatter, sweeter and healthier oysters. And having once supplied King Louis XVI’s oyster habit, Brittany still supplies half of France. Bretons also boast of plentiful sardines, kelp forests, spiny crabs and the rare cobalt blue lobster. Fished sustainably and cooked on a grill, it's little wonder that this beauty is called the king of lobsters.
