Percebes: Harvesting, Cooking, & Eating Gooseneck Barnacles (Percebes) on the Beach (Catch & Cook)

Описание: These barnacles may look bizarre, but they're edible! People risk their lives harvesting Percebes (also called Gooseneck Barnacles or Goose Barnacles) off cliffs in some parts of the world. I'm fortunate enough to live in a place where a little bit of rock scrambling led me to an easy and delicious catch and cook on the beach. It was such a treat!

I never thought I'd be eating barnacles but it happened :) I'm sure the U.S. will eventually catch up with Spain and Portugal in treating Percebes like the delicacies that they are.

💬 Have any of you eaten them? What did you think?

(Also, just a reminder to please forage/harvest with care. These barnacles can take decades to establish and grow large enough to harvest!)

Check out the WDFW rules pamphlet for current regulations in Washington (they're listed as "goose barnacles"): http://www.eregulations.com/wp-conten...

Oregon has different harvest rules that I'm not familiar with, if anyone has those details I'd love to read them if you could link them in the comments :)
