Le Kiosque à Coquillage, Beziers

5/9/2015

There is no equivalent for this in the USA - a kiosk stand selling gourmet seafood along one of the most beautiful Platane lined avenues in the south of France - this is Beziers! 

This is one of those local places to get great food at a great price, where the guy behind the counter knows everybody's name and if you go back a few times, they know you too!  This is one of those perfect experiences...where the beautiful sun drenched days meets the perfect lunch when one is in the perfect mood.  This was very special!

We had traveled to many maritime areas but these were the largest oysters we have ever had!  Succulent, fresh, and beaming from the sea!  Everything was in the ocean a day or two earlier!  The clams were right out of the best Normandy can offer....but in the south of France!  The shrimp...a picture speaks a thousand words...the color, the freshness, after cracking them apart, it was worth sucking the head juices out - it doesn't get any fresher than seafood in Beziers!
