The food of Bretagne

[Abra]

I was invited to a gorgeous Breton lunch yesterday, for which I made kouign aman and gateau Breton. Photos and some recipes are here. This has really gotten me in the mood for our upcoming trip to Bretagne.

If you have some suggestions for less-known foods not to miss, please post them here. Shellfish, galettes, and of course kouign aman are already on the list.

You must have cotriade, a Breton fish stew. I don't recall where we first ate it, but it was also my introduction to samphire (aka sea asparagus, sea beans, or glasswort).

Look out for craquelins, although you're more likely to see them in shops than restaurants (having said that, I first ate them in an amuse at Le Cantorbery in Dinan). This site explains them although St Malo are not my favourite brand.

Far Breton and caramel au beurre sale, although you've probably already thought of those.
