Andrew explores Winkles as edible coastal food. They appear in prehistoric shellfish middens throughout Europe , and is therefore known to have been an important source of food since at least 7500 BC in Scotland .
They are usually picked off the rocks by hand or caught in a drag from a boat.

Coastal food eaten in Great Britain and Ireland commonly referred to as winkles or in some areas willicks or wilks , and in Belgium where they are called crickles Periwinkles are considered a delicacy in African and Asian cuisine . The meat is high in protein and low in fat .Andrew also shows how to cook limpets.
In the Azores they are called Lapas and are eaten live accompanied with a loaf of bread and a bottle of red wine. Yummy.
Ok, but why red wine? I would suppose white wine usually goes much better with seafood?
Azorean don’t care for white wine
Lapas and Pao de milho
limpets can make an INSANE broth.
The intestinal blob is basically only alge it's not poisonous and some people actually eat the whole limpit raw.
If you leave them in sea water over night that's usually enough to purge them.
yummy! in Hawai'i we call them 'õpihi. We eat,them all sorts of ways but da best way is raw, with roasted ground kukui nuts, crunchy ogo seaweed, sesame oil, onion, ginger, a pinch of chili pepper and soy sauce. It's the best! Limpet are the best!
charlene hughes-peseta Aloha. Being from HI I prefer my opihi raw too. In the video the guy was cutting off all the good part. LOL.
Yes! That "inedible black bubble" contains the tastiest part, the guts. It's not harmful or dangerous. Think of it as pureed algae...very tasty and nutritious! I eat em cooked or raw off the rocks.
wow that sounds delicious! I'd watch that cooking show!
does it go good with your poi? lol
WaterspoutsOfTheDeep yes it does!thats old sku style!but way better with butter soy sauce and chili pepper water
Im from Madeira island and limpets are very typical around here we prepare them with garlic butter and after they are cooked we but lemon Juice all around and eat them like an oyster that way you came feel all the flavours the Yellow ones are the females and are a bit more elastic the darker ones are males and are more soft and tender
Madeira depends a lot on tourism our beautiful island brings many tourists and people Fall in love with our beautiful landscaps our levadas and our healthy simple but super delicious gastronomy
I use to boil them in salt water. Sea water.
Check out Lapas.
You can make very delicious pilafs with such sea food. Eating them raw is quite popular in Greece too.
Another great video!
I'll be waiting to see more :>
JUst went outside on to the beech and knocked off a small bag og limpets mixed a few herbs LOVELYYYY one cheap meal apparently the French love it .. now I know why
I used to eat winkles all the time straight from the rocks... No cooking... No need... That was 20odd years ago and I'm still alive 🤷🏻♀️😂
You sir have found a Hawaiian delicacy . They command 150 US shelled and salted . But preferred RAW . It's commonly a sought for parties called "luaus" marking a passage in a persons life. The yellow footed ones are most prized .
I was at Pendine sands in Wales when we saw tiny jets of water squirting out of the sand, we investigated further and saw several people agitating the sand with their foot so we did the same and lo and behold we found cockles! we gathered just enough for a meal for me and my mother and after leaving them in water for 24 hours we boiled them up with onions, garlic and white wine. Beautiful.
Thanks for this!
Don't bother to cook them. You eat oysters raw, don't you? I've eaten raw limpets "on the rocks" on Atlantic coasts in Britain and France, and on Mediterranean coasts of Spain. Chew them whole, they're delicious, INCLUDING the black bit! I'm 70 and still chewing. Among the best, the big yellow ones on UK's south coast. Bon appetit from France!
just curious but have you ever eaten sea urchin?
Are you still around mark?
Jafman doesn’t seem like he is huh!?🥺💞
Mark are you there?
Great video! And very useful! One question I have, is, are you able to eat any winkles? Some websites suggest you should only eat one type of winkle..
Thanks in advance for your help!
We have them here in Florida i just break them off the rocks clean it in salt water n eat them raw..its tender n sweet..when u cook them they loses there flavor it gets a bit tough
I love limpits I eat the whole thing. The intestines have the digested algie but it is nutritious
Well - don't they sometimes accumulate toxins from those algae?
God I love when I go home to Connemara and camp out. I could live off these bad boys so long as I have some vinegar knocking around.
Man, all those times I've gathered the willicks but didn't realise the limpits were edible. Might try em sime day.
I snapped my Swiss army knife blade while taking out a big limpet once 😂
with my boyfriend we pick them and them sell them to spain...it is a very good way of making money on low tide in winter..without actually work..cuz althoug its hard to get to the spot were they live, once u are there u just pick them hand full ..alltough i would never eat them :S
I thought that they are regarded as too tough to eat,like my experiences with whelks.Yet I love foraging and will try again,so any prep and cooking tips would be appreciated..Thanks.
I purchased some limpets in Hawaii recently. Just boil them quickly, I would say no more than 1-2 mins. Whelks I usually boil about 5-7 mins.
The black part of the limpet is edible, in my opinion it's the tastiest part - soft and meaty like black pudding.
+Stuart K lol
@@chad7148 Black pudding is shit sack stuffed with scabs, so I guess he's used to it...
I used to eat these all the time in Chile!
I've always eaten them raw. In Portuguese they are called lapis. I Live in Florida now and I don't know if they are here. I know in MA I used to get them all the time
On a side note, it was one of the best holidays I've ever had. some huge (3ft diameter) jellyfish had washed up and we spent time rescuing them with a bread basket that we found, then afterwards we tied it to the towbar on my dads car and he drove up and down the beach with me sitting in the basket.
Epic holiday.
Supposedly the intestines and all the rest of the limpet are also edible. They eat the whole thing in Madeira. Nothing they eat is harmful, nor do they break it down into anything that our bodies won't identify as food.
I think I'll try it
I need one of these to stick my phone on the windscreen.
I ate one yesterday at the beach not knowing if it was safe and just looked it up today to see and came to this video
Was it good?
iminindonesia yeah surprisingly was I cooked it over a fire. Tastes like squid if you’ve ever had it
Nice! Find me some beer too.
When I was a kid I peeled them from the rocks and ate them raw. No lemon, no bread, too young for an ice cold Sauvignon. Survival food for youtubers, a snack for locals :-D
Do you need a fishing license for the periwinkles? Or what kind of license?
Lucily no licence require d
We have them in Okinawa. They are really good. I boiled mine for too long and it was like jerky :(
maxx steele we call them fat pork we just go down the beach and pick them they are free in the Caribbean
your ok with limpets mate, ther grazers and not filter feeders like mussels ect so their one of the safest sea foods to collect in as far as they dont build up toxins from the sea as much, just make sure its alive before you cook it or eat it raw. I love em.
*Gag.* Nice to know, but not going to be in my top choices of wild food sources.
@Danzarr well you can eat them. everyone knows that. but they HAVE to be cooked
You eat expensive seafood for freeeeeeeeee? Not fair :) we used to to do that when mom dad not ran to the osean and do that so fun this day are expensive :) like
in Sicily we call Patelle. We eat them raw
Alicemudgarden90 - it taste like shit
@@furydestroyeddeyonce776 I really wonder what you fittness sisters can compare. How would you describe the chewyness? Foreskin?
Would they not be nicer steem cooked ?
I just used a rock to hit the barnacle hardly and it came off
Wow! I can’t imagine eating that! This is coming from a West Virginia hillbilly!
You can have them. I'll take a steak or chicken. I dont think I could make myself eat that.
If i brought you a living cow, could you turn it into steak?
@@undercurrentsmedia I highly doubt it. I love animals, and i couldn't kill anything. Of course, I eat steak, but I don't do the killing and butchering.
@@dianebays5484 Love them so much you can eat them. But no love for limpets?
@@dianebays5484 That's some strong cognitive dissonance you've got there
@@undercurrentsmedia no, I just have my opinion, which I am entitled to. What's the big deal,? That's more for you.
It just looks like something that I would not want to eat, and what does it matter, anyway, what I say? It looks like, to me, some people just like to argue.
Doesn't that qualify as poaching?
ewww omg I cant believe you eat that in england
seaweed is much better and along with fish its more nutritious
I'd Rather Eat Worms
I thought limpets had little to no nutritional value for humans
Gross
Hey pal ,ever wonder why those girls never come on a second date?
