The Taste of Barnacles

Ever go on a field trip to the ocean in middle school and get your face real close to a tide pool? Remember how that smelled? That's what barnacles taste like: salty, funky and weirdly eternal. Delicious.

We also wolfed down some garlic shrimp and the "edible crab." No word on the other kind. But this one featured big claws requiring some explosive and comical mallet work and, stuffed into the carapace were all the innards, blended into a chunky, livery pâté. Also delicious.

Steak sandwiches for dessert.
