Fines de Claires have a natural greenish tint which comes from a diet rich in the naturally occuring micro-algae called "Navicule bleue" ("Blue Navicula"). <br />The waters of l'Isle d'Oleron (where M.Marcel cultivates) happens to be teeming with this algae and has a variety which is truly green called 'Vertes'. They are delicious but rarely available in Paris as the island locals prefer them above all others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841301701690518002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712612109397687776.post-3369793689618005582011-01-02T23:12:03.038+01:002011-01-02T23:12:03.038+01:00Thank you for this post, I love oysters but don...Thank you for this post, I love oysters but don't know much about them, and didn't know about mignonette sauce!
