It’s interesting they called it a “leaf spring tool” considering leaf spring steel makes good metal stock for toolmaking/blacksmithing. I wonder if he had a crowbar made by a blacksmith out of an old leaf spring and that’s how it translated?
To the novice or untrained eye it may look like a knife & his hand. But to professional barnacle harvesters, it's a leaf spring tool & flesh toned articulated grappling device😂
Well, it's more to do with how difficult the process of harvesting is. Also they mentioned that they're only allowed to harvest a small portion from any given spot

Not really simple, the majority of days the waves are high enought to knock you out from the rock and into the ocean. In my zone people die every year doing this, and they are respected for their job.
The DFO has a map of the 52 rocks that you can harvest from and assumes 10% are marketable, when you harvest you're supposed to keep a log with approximately how much you got from each rock so they go by logs and/or inspection to know when to close a rock and then tell that to harvesters.
Portuguese people love eating them. I could never get myself to eat them cause they look disgusting. My entire family loves them and swears they're good.
They are a type of crustacean. In fact, barnacles are the only sessile crustaceans. This makes them related to shrimp, crabs, and lobsters. Therefore, I would guess that they taste similar.
@@melvinohoulihan not sure why being from texas matters, but it explains your reading comprehension. just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's gross.
@@MauiWowieOwie I think you’re the one with reading comprehension issues. David never said anything about disliking the barnacles as a dish.

Furthermore, being born in or living in Texas has absolutely nothing to do with how intelligent a person is. You have any other half brained “wisdom” you’d like to try and spew?
@@Johntaco430So it appears it _can_ happen, but it's extremely rare as far as I can tell. All the pictures of, "skin barnacles," are an entirely different condition that is unrelated to real barnacles. The actual risk is working on rocks in the ocean. Imagine slipping and falling. You could knock yourself out and tumble right into the water.
The price is incredibly inflated, I can guarantee you that, but the risk is still as great, the sea has no mercy, and a wave can come at any moment and throw you into the sea or directly knock you out against the rock. People die every year doing this where I live, and we have been doing it for centuries.
They are so delicious and easy to remove the skin they taste like sweet crab meat with the texture of lobster my grandpa would get 4 to 8lb when they are on season just for us to eat I would eat so many lb of them, I moved back to California and here they are so small and expensive, we used to harvest them from the beach so we never paid for them.
Guy holds his thumb up to his eye and the rock, notes the sun's position, tosses a piece of grass in the air, squats down, stands up, lifts one leg, spits on the ground.. yep that's 7.5% alright
Honestly, foragers on *my* coast tend to be pretty reasonable with harvesting habits, whether it be not taking all the mushrooms in a cluster or all the shellfish from something like this. Taking the *whole* rock's collection may cause the barnacles to fail to repopulate for decades, ruining *everyone's* harvest.
@@christopherkarr1872yup. I forage a lot of food where I live and generally when you take the time to learn how to forage and harvest, you take the time to leave some behind because you want to be able to come back in future seasons to harvest more. I've usually found that people who are novice foragers generally take all and leave none, while those who are more practiced take what they need and leave a percentage behind so that it's sustainable and available for years to come.
Someone who couldnt be picky about food 😅 have u never seen alone or any other survival reality shows? People will eat anything that keeps them alive when they are starving... btw i agree w ya, 🤢 they look completely horrendous
Stevie also has a permit that allows only him and very few others to harvest them. If you tried this as a normal person you'd face a fine of more than $1,000.
Someone who was starving, I wouldn't doubt if the French came up with it. That's how we got S Cargo, during and before the French Revolution the people had nothing to eat and started eating anything they could get their hands on.
Theres these mind breaking inventions called gloves that protect your hands from being cut, and improve grip, i hope they get a hold of some of this revolutionary tech.
It’s the tides and possibility of get their spores inside of a cut. The spores attaching to your body and growing on you is pretty rare but it happens and the tides are the most dangerous thing. Like the point where the guy was walking away from an oncoming wave. If it’s big enough it can get over the rocks and sweep you out to sea. Possibly even bashing you against the rocks over and over… gotta respect the sea just as much as you do fire
@@miguellabordaburnett3617 oh I know that. I’ve gone out and collected these as well as mussels and if the water isn’t far enough out then that’s the danger you deal with. Plenty of times I do a little work on a mussel and then walk away from a huge wave then go back to it. If it’s really stuck on I’ll go at it a third time before I pry it loose. I find a good sharp knife gets them freed easier than a crowbar I usually see people using
Apparently back in medieval times, some christian churches used to forbid eating meat on certain days. Gooseneck barnacles were an exception, because they were "neither flesh, nor born of flesh". So you could eat them on days when you couldn't eat beef or pork or chicken.
Very interesting! How do they mark the rock for the 6 months, in order to avoid over-harvesting? How are marketable gooseneck barnacles determined? Are those that are not marketable still alive and able to be returned to grow, like releasing fish, etc that are too small?

We have this in our coast!! They are delicious!!
