I’ve just returned from a few days in France, where I had the chance to enjoy some fantastic local shellfish. They’re simple to prepare, perfect for sharing with family and friends, and ideal for a relaxed weekend meal. If you’re planning something special this weekend, make the most of the fantastic local seafood available and enjoy cooking with the very best of the season.
