You are going to eat WHAT!

For dinner in Fisterra Stephen decided to try a Galician delicacy. It took an internet search to learn how to eat the critters that have given him so much so much trouble on the underside of his boat…barnacles. 

They taste a lot better than they look. 

From an information placard in Muxia:

Gooseneck barnacles can be harvested in two ways: on foot (the rocks are accessed from the coast) and at sea (in this case access is by boat). In either case, harvesters must have all the required licences and documentation. A maximum of 5 kg of gooseneck barnacles may be harvested each day, except in December, when the limit rises to 7 kg.
Harvesters use a rasqueta or spring leaf scraper to remove the gooseneck barnacles from the rocks. They wear a wetsuit, gloves, helmet and shoes, and carry a bag to place the gooseneck barnacles in.
Women also carry out extraction and selection work in the Muxía fishermen's guild.
