Now, according to Kiko, they're not as simple to get.

These are arranged for me to meet a very talented local sea barnacle harvester, who'll show me how to really get these prize assets.

Ricardo Cosme is a Perseverance harvester.

He forages year-round for the barnacles and knows the waters here like the back of his hand.

The harder the waves are, and the deeper the Perseverance are, the bigger they are and the better one.

Two centimetres and, like, thickness of a finger.

They will cost roughly 90, 100 euros kilogram. 100 euros a kilo?

Yeah, because you're risking your life doing this.

Perseverance are even harder to gather than to pronounce.

Each year in Portugal, a handful of people die collecting them.

Hopefully, the ocean isn't hungry for a new victim.

Now, all of a sudden, you start to see the size of those waves.

For a veteran like Ricardo, this is a walk in the park.

But it makes me wish I had a stunt double.

Finding the right size barnacles takes incredible timing, great strength, and just a touch of crazy.

With the final cook in a few days' time, failure is not an option.

So, Riccardo suggests we try our luck in a different spot.
