Picoroco (Austromegabalanus psittacus) the Chilean giant whelk. is a crustacean that lives on the Chilean coasts, attached to rocky substrates. It has a prehistoric appearance but a very subtle, crab-like flavour. They are a Chilean delicacy and this fusion recipe makes the most of their flavour.

Ingredients:

4 picoroco (Chilean giant barnacles)
120ml (1/2 cup) tempura batter (see the vegetable tempura recipe for how to prepare)
200ml
