Gooseneck barnacles are known as "hell seafood". Many people are afraid to approach them because of their strange tentacles, but it is one of the most expensive seafood in the world. A few days ago, a netizen pointed out that he had seen people eating barnacles on YouTube, and the comments were very good, which made him curious, "Is it delicious? Where can I buy barnacles?"
A netizen posted on PTT that he watched a lot of videos of "eating barnacles" by YouTubers, and they all praised them as "super sweet and delicious", which made him wonder "Is it delicious? Someone is selling them outside" Is it barnacle cooking? Is there something wrong?"
In this regard, netizens responded that "raw salted food is more delicious", "invincible delicious, Yilan, Xinbei and Matsu sell it", "barnacles are very delicious, but they look terrible", "I think it tastes ordinary, just Seafood flavor, but the growth background and appearance are terrible", "It's delicious, you can taste the taste of crab without spending a lot of money", "I think it's a bit like tofu, but it's not delicious, and the boiled one is even worse.", "It is common to sell barnacles on the southern seaside and outer islands. The taste is similar to stuffed meat. Fresh ones are delicious, but if they are not fresh, they stink." ", "The taste is between crabs and clams. Pure water is really common. I don't think it is as delicious as the legend. I have eaten it in Portugal and can't finish it. People who have not eaten it in Taiwan can try it. I think It's an overrated ingredient."
There are more than 1,000 species of barnacles in the world, among which gooseneck barnacles are more well-known. In Japan, Matsu, and the east coast of Taiwan, barnacles of different orders, families, and genera are produced. Barnacles are closely related to shrimp and crabs, and they can be found on reefs, drifting objects, or the bottom of old boats in the intertidal zone of the sea.
