Oysters of course, but also many other seafood will be tasted by the French for Christmas Eve. But, before going to the table, it is necessary to carry out a few checks, in particular the smell of seafood. “This is the first thing to check. Go your way if you come across a very strong-smelling shrimp, it is probably not very fresh”, explains the journalist Léopold Audebert, present on the 13 Hours set.
For whelks and periwinkles, a strong odor is not necessarily a bad sign. “It’s just the charm of the sea that operates with iodine”, specifies the journalist. You should also watch out for allergies. “After consuming seafood, be careful if you have hot flushes or itching. It may be an allergy due to tropomyosins, allergens present in many shellfish”, concludes Léopold Audebert.
