Exercises: French Seafood Vocabulary (Les Fruits de Mer)

Exercise: French Seafood Terms

Practice identifying and using seafood vocabulary in French.

1. Write the French Word:

“crab” →

“shrimp” →

“salmon” →

“oyster” →

“tuna” →

2. Match the Seafood to Its Description:

“Un poisson gras souvent utilisé en sushi” →

“Un crustacé avec des pinces” →

“Petit poisson souvent en conserve” →

3. Correct the Errors (Spelling/Gender):

“la crabe” →

“le huitre” →

“la thon” →

4. Fill in the Blanks with Seafood Terms:

“J’ai commandé ___ (lobster) grillé pour le dîner.” →

“Les ___ (clams) sont délicieuses avec du beurre à l’ail.” →

“Ce restaurant sert un excellent ___ (fillet) de bar.” →

5. Translate into French:

“I love shrimp and oysters.”

“We ate grilled salmon yesterday.”

Notes:

• Gender Matters: Le homard (masc.) but la crevette (fem.).
  
• Contractions: L’huître (not “la huître”) because of the silent h.
  
• Plurals: Most add -s (les crevettes, les sardines).
