Description
Amande de mer, commonly known as the dog cockle (Glycymeris glycymeris), is a traditional shellfish harvested from the clean, cold waters of the North Atlantic and along the French coastline. Recognized for its firm texture and distinctive ocean flavor, this species has long been appreciated in European coastal cuisine, particularly in seafood markets and traditional shellfish preparations.
This premium shellfish is supplied by Lequertier Marée, a Normandy-based seafood specialist known for sourcing and preparing high-quality fish, shellfish, and crustaceans for professional seafood markets. Their products are handled daily for restaurants, seafood distributors, and wholesale markets throughout France and international destinations.
The Atlantic seabed along the French coast provides an ideal habitat for Glycymeris glycymeris. Nutrient-rich waters and strong ocean currents support healthy shellfish populations, producing seafood valued for its natural flavor and culinary versatility.
Lequertier works closely with fishing partners who follow responsible and sustainable fishing practices, ensuring the careful management of marine ecosystems and the long-term preservation of shellfish resources. These practices align with the growing demand among professional buyers for traceable and environmentally responsible seafood.
Amande de mer is appreciated in seafood cuisine for its firm bite and distinctive taste. It is often used in shellfish platters, seafood stews, pasta dishes, and Mediterranean-style preparations where its natural marine flavor complements other seafood ingredients.
