Mado Rade Magnet – Bottarga – Piki Gabian

  • Piki Gabian Magnet: Mado Rade, fishmonger selling poutargue in Martigues
€6
At her seaside stall, Mado Rade proudly sells the local specialty: poutargue (bottarga)—Martigues’ own "rosé gold"! Clad in a classic Breton-striped shirt and apron, and backed by fresh sardines and a playful octopus, this fishmonger—a true local character—knows her trade inside out. With a direct gaze and a firm handshake, she won’t let anyone leave without tasting the area’s signature delicacy. A magnet bursting with briny, seaside flavor—the perfect memento of market stalls and Martigues’ culinary traditions to take home (minus the smell, we promise).
