Plateau de fruits de mer

A plateau de fruits de mer (French for 'plate of the fruits of the sea') is a seafood dish of raw and cooked shellfish served cold on a platter, usually on a bed of ice.

A plateau de fruits de mer

A plateau de fruits de mer generally consists entirely of shellfish and is served with condiments such as mignonette sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon.[1]

Service

The serving platter is often held above table level by a stand, and sometimes can contain multiple, elaborate tiers. This is both for visual effect, and because the shellfish are often served in the shell, or on the half shell, which causes them to take up a large area while containing only a bite or two of meat. It can alternatively be served on a bed of seaweed (vraic).

Shellfish

A plateau de fruits de mer may include:[2]

gollark: It would make the build process so mildly irritating.
gollark: Do I *really* have to make some kind of automated potatOS obfuscator?
gollark: You should make it allow URLs like `https://your-site.com/username/paste-name` instead of always random IDs, for easier-to-remember URLs.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Ridiculous. It couldn't detect malware automatically, and in any case flagging potatOS as it would be completely wrong.
