Brest & lobster
Brittany is, by French consensus, home to the country's finest lobster: the prized homard bleu (Breton blue lobster), caught in small numbers off the Breton coast and celebrated in the classic Homard à l'Armoricaine — the tradition Brest draws on.
🦞 Lobster lore
Only when cooked does a lobster turn red: heat breaks down proteins that hide the pigment astaxanthin in the raw shell.
