French term or phrase: Bourgeois de petit bateau
I'm currently translating a list of main courses for a restaurant, with no other context available.

One of the dishes is:

Bourgeois de petit bâteau cuit à plat, coquillages liés, sucs verts tendres

Any ideas?
Thanks!

"de petit bateau" means that the fish is caught by small boat -> "de petite pêche" -> fresh caught or freshly caught or fresh caught by small local boats (too long I think for a menu).

I hop this will help you!

agree  ACOZ: If you want to get in the idea of "petit bateau", you could add "locally-caught" or just "local".
