Description
Product Details

Goose Neck Barnacles, also known as percebes, are a unique and highly sought-after delicacy in the seafood world. These strange-looking creatures are found clinging to rocks in the intertidal zone of the Atlantic coast, from Portugal to Norway, and are prized for their delicate flavor and unusual appearance.

In terms of appearance, Goose Neck Barnacles have a long, cylindrical stem with a bulbous, triangular head that resembles a bird's neck or a dinosaur's horn. The outer layer of the stem is covered in a tough, dark membrane that must be removed before cooking, revealing a tender, white flesh underneath.

Uses:

Goose Neck Barnacles have a distinctive flavor that is often described as briny and slightly sweet, with a hint of iodine. They are typically prepared by boiling or steaming, and are often served with garlic butter or other flavorful sauces to enhance their natural flavor. Their unique appearance and delicate flavor make them a standout ingredient in any seafood dish.
