Come to the Old Port of Marseille and Eat Oysters and Sea Urchins!

✨I arrived in Marseille, France, by cruise ship and wandered around the city. When I reached the Old Port and saw the street lined with seafood restaurants, I decided to try one with a Google rating of 4.2. In this ancient port city, I indulged in the legendary French Gillardeau oysters! Listening to the street musicians and savoring the top-notch oysters, sea urchins, and white wine, I instantly felt like I was in full vacation mode! ✨Restaurant Name: Chez Roger Order Details: Gillardeau N°2 Oysters ✨I had heard that these are the "Rolls-Royce of oysters," so I had to try them! They are quite large, with thick and rounded shells. The texture is smooth and tender, starting with a briny, oceanic flavor, followed by a hint of sweetness and creaminess. The taste is rich and full-bodied, with a complex layering of flavors and a long, lingering aftertaste. Just a squeeze of lemon juice is all you need to enhance their natural sweetness—no additional seasoning is necessary. ✨Marennes N°3 Oysters These are a famous variety from the western coast of France. They are smaller, with thinner and elongated shells. The flavor is more briny and mineral-rich, not as sweet as the Gillardeau but more focused on the pure taste of the ocean. The texture is firmer, offering more layers of flavor when chewed. ✨Oursins Galice (Galician Sea Urchins) These sea urchins come from the Galician waters off the northern coast of Spain. They are large, with plump, orange-yellow roe, deep purple shells, and long, sturdy spines. The roe is incredibly rich and creamy, melting in your mouth with a sweet and slightly salty oceanic flavor. The taste is intense but not greasy, with a unique, lingering sweetness that is truly amazing. #EuropeanTravel #Oysters #SeaUrchins #SeafoodFreedom #TravelingFrance
