  • Gooseneck barnacles are one of the most expensive seafoods in the world. Just 1 pound can cost over $100 in Spain and Portugal, where the barnacles are considered a delicacy. But getting your hands on them is harder than it seems. The job comes with serious risks - and even the possibility of death. So why are these barnacles so difficult to harvest? And is that what makes them so expensive?

    For anyone not aware the most priced barnacles in EU are the ones coming from the Costa Da Morte (The Coast of Death) in Galicia (Spain) and right now you need to pay about 48€ for 500 grams but they can go higher than 70€. If they're from Cantabria however they can be worth (depending on season and class) up to +100€ per Kg. Just last year 5 people died while harvesting them.

      I'm from Spain and I live near areas where people harvest them for a living. The kind of harvesting you see in this video is the very easy kind, probably to get better close-ups of the process. It's not strange for harvesters to do their jobs while having to hold onto the rocks so a rogue wave doesn't take them.

    First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches.
    Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice.
    Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it.
    Then you cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way.
    The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away.
    That leaves you with a regular old plumbus!
