What is the best Paris shop to buy excellent canned sardines? I could go to Galeries Lafayette or to Bon Marche, but perhaps someone knows of a specialist who has wonderful ones made with particularly good oil.

The shop mentioned here, G. Detou, sounds like a possibility. I stumbled upon this posting, having been referred to Mr Lebovitz's blog by another eGulleter on quite a different subject, and now I want to go there myself.

I haven't found Detou's own site, if there is one, but there are more recent references to the shop revealed by a bit of quick Googling. Good fishing!

G. Detou (which is a play on words meaning "I have got everything") is correct if you are after La Belle Iloise hand-canned sardines from Brittany, which I do recommend:
