Frozen Gooseneck Barnacles Percebes

Pollicipes pollicipes

Goose Neck Barnacles, also known as Percebes or Pouce-Pied, are one of the holy grails of seafood. Despite their unusual appearance, they are actually crustaceans rather than molluscs. They cannot be farmed and must be harvested by hand from highly exposed rocky coastlines, often in difficult and dangerous conditions. That scarcity, and the skill needed to collect them, explains both their high price and desirability. Most importantly, they are truly delicious — intensely briny, sweet and full of the taste of the sea. To cook them the traditional way, bring very salty water — ideally as salty as seawater — to a rolling boil, add the Percebes and cook for about 1 minute. Drain immediately and serve warm. Peel back the leathery skin and eat the tender flesh inside. Perfect for: Brief boiling • Serving warm • Seafood platters • Eating straight from the shell

• Wild Caught
• Portugal Hand gathered
