These percebes (goose barnacles) come from the rocky, strongly current-swept coastal zones of the Northeast Atlantic. The rare crustaceans are traditionally harvested by hand, as they grow exclusively on exposed rock formations. The careful harvesting ensures a high product quality and a clean, sorted product.

Squid have a firm, slightly elastic flesh texture and an intense, clearly maritime aroma. Their taste is particularly pure, with a delicate sweetness, a pronounced minerality, and a distinct sea note. The texture remains stable during cooking and is suitable for short, precise preparations.

Ideal for a quick blanch in salted water, for pure enjoyment with lemon zest, for starters, seafood platters or modern fish cuisine. Percebes are traditionally served warm, but can also be presented cold.
