"While having a stroll along the beach at Marseillan-Plage we arrived at the mouth of the canal connecting the Thau Lagoon to the Mediterranean, le Grau de Pisse-Saumes. As it was a lovely spot we decided to have a late lunch at Le Crabe on the first floor of Hotel Le Richmont just opposite the Port Authority (« Capitainerie du Port »). The modern hotel building looks quite ugly but the restaurant offers shady outside seating with nice views on the harbour. One of us tried the fish in Noilly Prat sauce, a local specialty using a vermouth made in Marseillan since the 1850s. Unusual but nice. The plain omelette with a mixed salad was less satisfactory. Because of a pork allergy we had asked for the ham to be left out of the ham omelette on the menu. Instead of telling the kitchen staff - the kitchen was just around the corner and most customers had already left - the waitress ordered an ‘omelette with ham without ham’ on some electronic device. Of course things went wrong and the omelette had to be replaced. It had a strange taste and didn’t seem to be made with fresh eggs. In August we also didn’t expect tomatoes in a French restaurant to taste like sad Dutch tomatoes. With a pitcher of rosé wine, half a litre of Vittel water and coffee we forked out 45 euro. Quite a lot in view of the quality of the food. Nonetheless we spent a pleasant moment at Le Crabe because the service was very friendly and we enjoyed the view on the boats and the wine."
