Scallop fishing from the Christy M in May 2001Winkles (periwinkles)
Periwinkles, (Littorina sp), are small marine snails that are found in large numbers along rocky shores in the intertidal and low subtidal zones. They are part of the same category (or phylum) as other such edible sea treats such as scallop, clam, oyster, mussel and squid. Periwinkles feed mostly on algae and seaweed, which are high in protein, and have a very delicate taste.

Periwinkles reach about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length, and when harvested, are transported live.

Lobster
West coat lobster are considered "premium" lobsters and are famous worldwide for their outstanding taste and high quality meat.
