Spiny lobster
Langoustine calibre 04/06 ⚖
610040
The finest giant crustaceans for your most prestigious dining occasions.
The 04/06-sized langoustines, selected by Atelier Marée de Le Delas, are among the rarest and most sought-after specimens in haute cuisine. This exceptional size denotes very large specimens (approximately 4 to 6 per kilo), offering generous flesh and a spectacular visual presentation. Its flesh, pearly white and of the utmost delicacy, offers a texture that is both crisp and melt-in-the-mouth, with that mild and subtly briny flavour characteristic of exceptional seafood.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Culinary applications: Given its majestic size, this langoustine is ideal as the centrepiece of a dish. It excels when roasted whole in the oven, cooked just until the flesh is pearly white, or seared quickly on a griddle with lightly salted butter and a few fresh herbs. Chefs also appreciate it prepared as a ‘duo' of cooking methods or simply served warm, as a finely sliced carpaccio to highlight its natural sweetness. Its impressive presence makes it the star of luxury seafood platters or festive menus.
► Preparation: To do justice to the quality of the product, brief and precise cooking is essential to prevent the flesh from becoming mushy. The heads and claws, extremely rich in juices, provide an excellent base for creating coral-based sauces, premium bisques or intense shellfish stocks.
► Storage: An ultra-fresh seafood product that must be stored on a bed of ice in a refrigerated environment, between 0°C and +2°C. It is strongly recommended that these exceptional pieces be prepared immediately upon receipt to preserve the brilliance of their colour and the firmness of their flesh.
