Beauty is everywhere in Paris.
We were marching around before dinner, M, Sarah and I on rue Delambre in the 14th...
And I flipped for this fishmonger shop!La Poissonnerie Du Dome
I couldn't believe my eyes - all the lovely fishy murals!
And the shop is open to the street, so you can put your nose right in the fish and get eyeball to eyeball.
The ultimate in freshness!
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 ! '
The fish or in this case the King Crab jumps from the sea into the lorry and onto your plate.
This fishmonger saw me admiring his crab...
I so wish I'd had that crab for dinner!
Beauty is everywhere in Paris.

Hum ...you do not seem insensitive to the charm of this smiling fishmonger!(and so he does!)
ReplyDeleteOh I was so hoping you'd show us a Parisian Lapin monger...
ReplyDeleteOh you know how I love fresh seafood!
ReplyDeleteYou did this to torture me :)

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. :)
ReplyDeleteJan
Handsome crab! :-)))
ReplyDeleteThose 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.
P.S.:
ReplyDeleteI noticed that you didn't publish the shop's phone number! Hmmmmm......
I can see why you flipped over that Fishmongers shop.. the blue and white fish tiles are wonderful. It looks very welcoming. The fresh fish looks yummy too.
ReplyDeleteFOR MERISI and all others who wish to call in an order of exotique poisson

Or just go to their gorgeous website and listen to the sea and dream of fish...
I sure wish my local fish monger looked like these handsome fellows...
ReplyDeleteI'm dreaming of the fishmonger not the fish...
sigh...you take us to such lovely places
Merci
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.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good-looking crab!
ReplyDeleteCarol, 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking me "home" today.
A cute smile on the face of the first fish ;-)
ReplyDeletetell me,
ReplyDeletehave you ever found
an unsightly spot is paris?

Wow--that place is beautiful, Carol! I'm glad you took photos of that--I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful poissonerie. Paris have so many wonderful food shops ..I'm jealous
ReplyDeleteMeant to leave a comment but - no ---must google alzheimers...
ReplyDeleteThe Fisch Schlapping song is well-timed to your post here. I love at the end of the song when you hear someone say, "Enunciate!"
ReplyDeleteLet them eat crab!
ReplyDeleteThat crab is huge! I've never seen anything like that. It could take on a cat or something.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Clean and beautiful ... marvelous tiles. That crab is the largest I have ever seen.
ReplyDeletei love the blue and white tile murals...i painted one in my brekfast room...but i love these more...i may redo...please stop by my blog for another giveaway today...blessings, rebecca
