Homards à la débarque - a photo on Flickriver

            Saint-Vâast-la-Hougue (Manche) - En Normandie, sur les côtes du Cotentin, les espèces reines, sont le bar, la sole et… Le homard bleu. Le palmarès gagnant à forte valeur ajoutée pour les pêcheurs professionnels. Le homard, lui, est piégé dans des casiers et capturé vivant. Ces deux artisans-pêcheurs qui viennent d’accoster, déchargent quelques homards dans trois caissettes protégées d'une toile humide. Je sais que ce sont des homards car les pêcheurs me l’ont dit, mais ils ont refusé de retirer la toile car le soleil était encore trop fort. Et puis, ils avaient autre chose à faire. Ils n’étaient pas là pour rigoler. De toute façon, je me doutais qu’il s’agissait de homards car on distingue la présence d’un casier dans le bateau. 
L’absence de homards sur la photo affaiblit cependant sa portée documentaire. Bon, il n’y a pas mort d’homme. Ce qui n’est pas vrai pour les homards qui eux, ont dû passer depuis, à la casserole… d’eau bouillante.

Lobsters on the landing

Saint-Vâast-la-Hougue (Manche) - In Normandy, on the Cotentin coast, the queen species are sea bass, sole and… Blue lobster. The winning prize list with high added value for professional fishermen. The lobster is trapped in traps and captured alive. These two artisanal fishermen who have just landed, unload a few lobsters in three boxes protected by a damp canvas. I know they are lobsters because the fishermen told me so, but they refused to remove the canvas because the sun was still too strong. And then they had other things to do. They weren't there for fun. Anyway, I suspected it was lobsters because you can see the presence of a trap in the boat.
The absence of lobsters in the photo, however, weakens its documentary significance. OK, no one died. Which is not true for the lobsters, which have since had to go into a saucepan… in boiling water.
