It is unthinkable to spend a vacation in\u00a0camping on the island of Ol\u00e9ron<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0without tasting a delicious\u00a0mussel eclair<\/strong>A real treat! We'll give you the recipe and technique to make this typical Charente-Maritime dish a success.<\/p>\n

An essential specialty of the island of Ol\u00e9ron<\/h2>\n

For a change from the usual mussels marini\u00e8re or with cream, here is the mussel eclade! Grilled mussels on pine needles, the eclade (also called "\u00e9glade", "mussel terr\u00e9e", "mouclade") is a traditional recipe emblematic of Charente-Maritime, which comes to us straight from the island of Ol\u00e9ron.<\/p>\n

The term \u00e9clade comes from the word "\u00e9guiade" which means "needle" in old dialect, in reference to the pine needles used to light the fire and cook the mussels. This stewed cooking gives the shellfish this unique woody and ashy flavor, very fragrant and generous in taste. The good taste of the open sea and the forest combined!<\/p>\n

Preparation steps<\/h2>\n

Be careful, it's essential to do this outdoors. Also, we're warning you right away: it's delicious, but messy... Your hands will be black with soot!<\/p>\n
