Barnacle fishermen, or 'percebeiros' start the catch season in Asturias
epa11652109 Barnacle fishermen called 'percebeiros' in Spanish language, look for barnacles over the rocks off coastal town of Coana, in Asturias, northern Spain, 04 October 2024 (issued on 10 October 2024). Barnacle is considered as a delicacy and it is a very appreciated seafood in Christmas season dinners with a price that can reach over 200 euro per kilo. The job of caching barnacles is very dangerous as the fishing season starts in October and runs until December when fishers have to look for barnacles hidden among rocks in heavy seas.
