The color of the somewhat rough.hell is grayish-green. Koreans boil the periwinkles in plain water or brine.Toothpicks or safety pins are used to poke and pry the boiled meat out of the shell. In order to get to the meat, the tooth pick is inserted deep beyond the operculum, the thin plastic lens like covering(actually a protein matrix). The operculum is the "door" of the snail to protect itself. Some people eat the operculum, some pick it out like watermelon seeds. There is no need to be worried about red tide poisoning(paralytic shellfish poisoning), since the particular periwinkles are all grazers of algae on the rocks and do not filter feed. Taste wise, I would put it somewhere between a Pacific littleneck("asari" in Japanese) and a strong tasting blue mussel. Walter Rhee, "The Seafood Advisor" |
