Yvonne's salmonette (dogfish)
The ritual:
Place each dogfish with a white rose on a cloth. Close each cloth by sewing a thread all along its border. Light one candle per shroud. Open the shrouds without separating the cloth from the thread, place the roses in a vase and peel the dogfish directly on the shrouds.
Hélène's armorican-style squids
The ritual:
Place the squid next to each other on a clean cloth.
Light the candles. Recognize the squids, spot the tentacles with the grains of sand, the eyes. Point out what needs to be pointed out (for me, thank you, in the double sense of grace and thanks).
Jeanne's sardines
The ritual:
Wrap each sardine in tissue paper, then perform the sardine dance: move together in space without touching.
Régis's cod brandade
The ritual:
Display the cod on a reflective surface with coins and candles. Perform the gesture of the mourners (fist pounded on chest).
Marie's scallops
The ritual:
Display the scallops on napkins. You can hear them clacking as they are still alive. Bring guests' hands together so as to create a bowl.
Thérèse's fish loaf
The ritual:
Wash your hands, unroll the sheet of paper, hold it in place with pebbles, place the hake steak on the paper and redraw the whole fish. Locate the fins, scales and lateral line that enable the fish to detect variations in speed, pressure and vibration in the water, as signatures of objects: rocks, prey, companions, predators... feel the heartbeat of your companions in memory of this hake's heart.
