Well known to the residents of Cap Sizun, the Ar-Men smokehouse opened a new store on the port of Douarnenez in Finistère at the beginning of summer 2026. Amandine Chartie now offers for sale the artisanally smoked fish prepared by her husband, Clément, along with a range of snacks made from their own products. The store is situated in a bustling area, drawing both locals and tourists interested in traditional Breton cuisine.
Ar-Men has long been a name associated with quality and tradition in the region. The business, which started as a small family operation, has grown in popularity due to its commitment to using locally sourced fish and traditional smoking methods. This new location in Douarnenez marks an important step in expanding their reach and bringing their unique products to a wider audience.
The new store offers a variety of smoked fish, including salmon, haddock, and mackerel, all prepared using time-honored techniques. In addition to the main products, Amandine has also developed a line of complementary snacks, such as smoked cheese, preserves, and bread, designed to enhance the experience of enjoying the smoked fish.
The opening of this new store reflects the growing interest in regional and artisanal foods, as well as the importance of supporting local producers. By bringing Ar-Men's products to the port of Douarnenez, Amandine and Clément hope to introduce more people to the rich flavors and traditions of Breton cuisine.
