The secrets of Calen: traditional fishing and tasting of Poutargue
Full
Presentation
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days 2024, immerse yourself in a centuries-old tradition with our exclusive visit to one of the last Calen in France, where the art of traditional fishing is combined with Mediterranean delicacies. In the company of passionate fishermen, you will have the unique opportunity to discover this ancient fishing technique preserved and passed down from generation to generation.
Calen, a living heritage
Much more than a simple method of capture, Calen is a know-how that respects the rhythms of nature and the well-kept secrets of the sea. The fishermen, heirs to this tradition, will reveal the mysteries of this delicate and complex fishing, explaining each step of the installation of these ingenious nets that float on the waters.
The sea in your mouth
The visit continues with a tasting that will delight your taste buds: Poutargue. Nicknamed the "caviar of the Mediterranean", Bottarga is an exceptional product, the result of meticulous know-how and infinite patience. Made from salted and dried mullet eggs, it reveals an intense and iodized flavor, to be savored slowly to appreciate all its subtleties.
You will also have the privilege of tasting the bottarga mullet fillets, carefully prepared by the Calen fishermen. Their delicate and fragrant flesh is the perfect reflection of the Mediterranean terroir and the ancestral know-how that goes with it.
On-site sales depending on the catch of the day.
