Steps

  • Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl and mix in yeast dissolved in 200ml tepid water followed by another 150ml water to form a dough.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes, shape into a sausage, and prove on a tray for at least 6 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 220°C, dust loaf with rye flour, slash the top, and bake for 30 minutes until hollow-sounding.
  • Blend softened butter in a food processor until fluffy and transfer to a dish.
  • Steam langoustines, razor clams, and clams for 8 minutes until cooked, discarding any closed clams.
  • Halve the lobster, clean the head, crack the claws and knuckles, and return picked meat to the shell.
  • Open the crab shell, remove gills, crack the claws, and return picked meat to the shell.
  • Whisk egg yolks, mustard, vinegar, and lemon juice while slowly drizzling in oil to create a thick mayonnaise thickened with zest and seasoning.
  • Arrange all seafood, oysters, and shrimps on a platter and serve with mayonnaise, butter, and sliced bread.
