Pêcherie Ducamp is one of the best places in town to indulge in the local seafood. Sit at a table overlooking ocean-sized tanks swimming with the imminent contents of your dinner. Or pick up a serving of the superb house speciality (mussels and squid), get it cooked up on the spot and then take it away for a picnic.
