Percebes grandes (groot)

The goose barnacle is one of the most famous crustaceans of Galicia; it is a product that is scarce and difficult to catch, as it inhabits rocky areas with strong undertows where the open sea violently crashes down, representing great risk to its gatherers, the “percebeiros”. Due to all of this, it is one of the most highly appreciated and valued delicacies of Galicia.
