Ocean-fresh, wild-caught, and delivered live! Our Live Winkles (also known as Periwinkles) are a beloved traditional British seaside treat, prized for their sweet, savory ocean flavor and satisfyingly firm texture. Sourced daily from cold UK coastal waters, these small sea snails are thoroughly purged in clean seawater before dispatch.
Extremely easy to prepare, Winkles are a staple in European, Asian, and Mediterranean coastal cooking. Simply boil them in a seasoned court-bouillon or salted water for a few minutes, then extract the sweet meat with a pin or toothpick to enjoy dipped in garlic butter, vinegar, or mayonnaise. Shipped in temperature-controlled chilled boxes lined with seawater-dampened paper wrapping to keep them moist and alive upon arrival.
