Saint-Jacques
Saint-Jacques, also known as Saint James, is a significant figure in Christianity, recognized as one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ.

In culinary terms, "Saint-Jacques" refers to scallops, a popular seafood delicacy. These shellfish are prized for their sweet, delicate flavor and are often served in various dishes, including pastas and seafood platters. The name "Saint-Jacques" is derived from the scallop shell, which is a symbol of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
