Fish markets

To bring a bit of the sea home, don’t forget to pack your cooler and pop along to the fish markets in the port of Dieppe! You might come across some of the chefs from the local restaurants who have come to stock up on freshly caught fish or scallops to garnish their menu for the day.

Well-stocked stalls

On either side of the Pont Ango, fishermen deliver their freshly caught produce, and above all it’s a feast for the eyes. With each new tide, a cascade of glistening fish glides over the stalls. In season, the stalls are overflowing with turbot, whitefish, brill or plaice and the advice of the professionals is most welcome: flatfish for baking or poaching but also for grilling such as thebar, mackerel or red mullet, before the fishing season starts for the scallop from October to May.
Envy of a seafood platter? Early morning strollers will have no trouble finding clams, whelks, étrilles and vignots.

See you at the port

Find the fishermen’s wives at the fish markets on Quai Trudaine and Quai Henri IV from Tuesday to Saturday (7.30am to around 1pm). Fish arrivals depend on weather conditions: in the event of heavy rain, the boats do not go out to sea, so there are no sales the following day.

Do not hesitate to contact the Tourist Office!!

Between markets, where can you stock up?
