Excellence at the Service of Culinary Creativity
For over 20 years, Marie-Luxe has been sourcing the very best fish, shellfish, and crustaceans from artisanal fisheries along the Atlantic coast of France.
Every day, our teams work hand in hand with nature’s rhythm, respecting both fishermen and marine resources, to deliver bespoke selections that meet the uncompromising standards of top chefs.
Our products
Fish
Exceptional coastal and line-caught fish.
Each morning, we source directly from more than 13 French fish auctions. Our buyers handpick only the freshest catches — from boats spending less than 72 hours at sea, using sustainable fishing methods that protect marine ecosystems.
Crustaceans
Live from our Breton shores.
Thanks to a long-established network of trusted pot fishermen, Marie-Luxe provides chefs with premium live crustaceans from Brittany’s coastline, available all year round.
Shellfish
Sourced with care from local small-scale gatherers.
Handled, graded, and packed by skilled professionals, our shellfish selection guarantees freshness, quality, and authenticity.
Cured specialities
A collection created in close collaboration with chefs.
Our cured products are the result of years of partnerships and tailored requests, evolving with culinary trends and seasonal inspirations.
Frozen selection
Cutting-edge Japanese technology for uncompromised quality.
Marie-Luxe employs the revolutionary CAS (Cell Alive System*) freezing method for premium line-caught species such as seabass, turbot, John Dory, sole, and gilt-head bream. This process preserves the texture, taste, and aroma of fish as if freshly caught, while extending shelf life up to three years.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you select your fish and shellfish?
Every day, our buyers source directly from over 13 French fish auctions to select ultra-fresh products. We prioritize coastal fishing trips under 72 hours at sea, paying close attention to quality, freshness, and fishing methods.
What fishing methods does Marie-Luxe prioritize?
We focus on artisanal and responsible techniques such as line fishing, pot fishing, and hand-gathering. These environmentally friendly methods preserve both product quality and marine ecosystems.
How do you guarantee product freshness?
Our products are sourced directly from auctions in short supply chains. Logistics are optimized for rapid handling and delivery within very short timeframes, with a fully controlled cold chain.
Do you work exclusively with French fishermen?
We primarily work with French fishermen, especially in Brittany. However, to meet customer demand outside certain seasons, we also collaborate with trusted partners in Europe (e.g. Ireland, Scotland) who share our quality standards.
Are your products certified (organic, MSC, etc.)?
Yes, some of our products are certified — including organic seaweed and farmed fish with Label Rouge, Organic Farming, or regional aquaculture certifications. Our eco-responsible commitments are recognized by the “Artisan Producer of Quality” label from the Collège Culinaire de France.
What is the difference between your fresh and CAS-frozen fish?
Our fish frozen using Japanese CAS (Cell Alive System) technology retain their texture, taste, and nutritional value as if freshly caught. This rapid and gentle process minimizes crystallization, ensuring a quality close to fresh, with a shelf life of 3 years.
