The Gourmet Fishmonger

A gourmet fishmonger established to meet growing tourism interest in Boulogne-sur-Mer ‘Capécure’ district.

COMPTOIR BOULONNAIS

Despite being the leading fishing port in France, Boulogne-sur-Mer lacked a suitable fish market. In the past, local consumers relied on direct sales from artisanal fishers to buy locally caught seafood. However, tourism is on the rise, and guided tours of both the port and the city are more frequent. The local aquarium attracts tourists year-round who increasingly seek to try local seafood products. In response, the creation of a boutique fishmonger was proposed, which would offer gourmet seafood products that represent the flavours of the Opal coast. The store features a seafood counter offering products such as oysters, shellfish, and local seafood specialty dishes.

Results

  • 10 jobs created. 
  • Boulogne-sur-Mer products promoted. 
  • Quality seafood from the Capécure district promoted.
