Gooseneck Barnacles (Percebes) – rare, wild-harvested delicacy prized for their intense ocean flavor and tender, briny texture. Sourced from rugged coastal waters of Alaska, these premium shellfish offer a clean, fresh taste reminiscent of the sea.

How to Prepare
- Boil (traditional): Bring salted water to a boil; add barnacles and cook for 1–2 minutes; serve immediately

- Garlic Butter: Serve with melted garlic butter for dipping
- Soups & Chowders: Add to seafood soups or chowders for intense ocean flavor, similar to littlenecks
How to Eat
Twist or peel back the outer skin at the base and remove the inner meat. The dark outer casing is not eaten.
