Local speciality: Collioure anchovies
These little delicacies have been fished by traditional means for centuries
The Pyrénées-Orientales seaside resort is home to what some deem to be the best anchovies in the world – they have been fished (by net) and salted (by hand) here since the Middle Ages.
Try in situ or shop online from the two remaining anchovy sellers, Desclaux or Roque.
The fish is sold in salt, oil or vinegar.
