Preparation
Slightly cold smoke the langoustines, cut into five pieces and flatten slightly under butcher’s cling film.

Nasturtium juice
Press the nasturtium leaves in the slow juicer and transfer to a siphon.
Cut the large potatoes into very thin slices and lay out on the worktop.
Brush half with egg white and sprinkle potato starch on the other half, then dust off with a dry brush.
Place one slice brushed with egg white on a slice of potato sprinkled with starch and cut out a circle that is as big as possible.
Soufflé these in the deep fryer at 180° C until crispy.
As soon as the soufflé comes out of the oil, cut with a sharp serrated knife to make an opening 2x2 cm.
Heat the oil in a pan and add the garlic and thyme.
Put the cockles and razor shells in the pan and add white wine.
Remove from the pan as soon as the shells open and leave to cool.
Remove the cockles and razor shells from their shells and clean.
Remove the innards from the cockles and cut the razor shells in 4 mm thick pieces.
