Our fish and seafood division was born out of a desire to promote the incredibly rich fish and seafood products of Brittany.
Its origins date back to the fishing crisis in 1995, when Noël Le Graët and the representatives of the fishermen’s cooperative of Saint-Brieuc Bay together decided to establish the Celtarmor fishmonger’s workshop in Saint-Quay-Portrieux.
This was a match made in heaven; the Le Graët group now possesses the industrial and commercial expertise to enhance and promote raw and cooked scallops, while fishermen help to preserve this species through responsible fishing, thereby guaranteeing the product’s unrivalled quality.
But even today, this partnership marrying the expertise of fishermen’s cooperatives and a private company is still unique in France.

Saint-Brieuc Bay scallops, an authentic treasure
Rare, natural and wild, and fished in Saint-Brieuc Bay, the Pecten maximus scallop is an exceptional fish product, revered by top chefs. Delicate and flavoursome, our scallops are shelled exclusively in sea water to preserve their original taste and do not contain additives or preservatives.
The fishermen of Saint-Brieuc Bay have been forerunners in the sustainable and meticulous management of their stock for over 40 years.
