David Chang Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 barnacle season is a short one, maybe two months? so when we saw them at the pier, we grabbed a basket. not as big as the ones we had in spain orportugal, but still a taste explosion.. simply steamed with thai seafood sauce on the side, but the flavour is so intense it doesnt really need sauce.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poochie Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 I'd give them a try. But they don't have them around here. What is that striped fish in the bottom of the boat by the pink container? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that striped fish in the bottom of the boat by the pink container? yeah i've never seen them on a menu in the US. i don't think it would be popular because they look prehistoric and there's not a lot of meat on them. not sure, but this guy normally sells a variety of groupers.

Tyrus Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Many years ago I used to frequent this Portuguese bar called the First base Cafe. They served Periwinkles a small whelk or seafood snail that was served in a bowl with a 3" steel pin used to pull them out after they were cooked. Their shell was black in the shape of a snail and I believe they were 50 cents and were very tasty. They were commonly found around the coast gathering and clinging to the rocks in thousands and all you had to do was scoop them up with a hand.

Poochie Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 That sounds interesting too. I'd give that a try...at least once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
