About Sauce armoricaine

Sauce armoricaine is a French seafood sauce name often used for preparations based on tomato, aromatics and shellfish, with wine or spirits in some recipes. Its usage overlaps with sauce américaine, and culinary sources and recipes do not always distinguish the two consistently. The name alone therefore cannot establish a precise ingredient list or a single regional formula.

It is generally reddish and savoury, with a concentrated seafood flavour when shellfish is included. Its texture may be smooth or contain small pieces, and it can be served as a sauce or used to cook seafood. Homemade and prepared versions vary in ingredients, seasoning and thickness; the label does not guarantee shellfish in every formulation.
