La Poissonnerie Du Dome

La Poissonnerie Du Dome - Paris Breakfasts Beauty is everywhere in Paris.

La Poissonnerie Du Dome - Paris BreakfastsWe were marching around before dinner, M, Sarah and I on rue Delambre in the 14th...La Poissonnerie Du Dome - Paris Breakfasts And I flipped for this fishmonger shop!La Poissonnerie Du Dome
La Poissonnerie Du Dome - Paris BreakfastsI couldn't believe my eyes - all the lovely fishy murals!
La Poissonnerie Du Dome - Paris Breakfasts And the shop is open to the street, so you can put your nose right in the fish and get eyeball to eyeball.
La Poissonnerie Du Dome - Paris Breakfasts The ultimate in freshness!
La Poissonnerie Du Dome - Paris Breakfasts Jean-Pierre Lopez has owned La Poissonnerie Du Dome for 20 years. He's at the Marche Rungis starting at 3 AM (I could do this with the Jetlag I currently have...) where he searches and searches for the absolute best fish.
"When it's a question of finding the best, I am not faithful."
'' Quand il s'agit de trouver le meilleur, je ne suis pas fidèle ! '

  4. Wow. Beautiful fish. And succulent crab. A case is made against every strip mall, every tasteless retailer with no fish on his walls. I would buy fish here just to spend time with the pictures. :)

  5. Handsome crab! :-)))
    Those are painted tiles, aren't they? Imagine somebody ordering custom painted tiles for his fish mongery, somehow it does reflect the attitude towards his wares. I would order blindly from that guy, um, shop.

  6. P.S.:
    I noticed that you didn't publish the shop's phone number! Hmmmmm......

  10. I was on a buying trip in Paris with my son and he glanced at a cloth in the gutter and said - even that looks stylish.

  12. Carol, I always love it when you show scenes from my "neighbourhood" (I always stay at the Villa Des Artistes on rue de la Grande Chaumiere). I love that fish monger and sometimes wish that I would rent an apartment in the area so I could fix some fish during my stay. There is a wonderful cheese shop just up the way from here as well!

    Thanks for taking me "home" today.

  19. The Fisch Schlapping song is well-timed to your post here. I love at the end of the song when you hear someone say, "Enunciate!"

  21. That crab is huge! I've never seen anything like that. It could take on a cat or something.
