Small in size but rich in character, Periwinkles are one of the most traditional and enduring delicacies of French coastal cuisine. These marine gastropods, with their distinctive dark, rounded shells, are harvested from the intertidal zones of the French coastline, where clean, cold Atlantic waters give them their naturally delicate and subtly sweet flavour.

A staple of the classic plateau de fruits de mer, Periwinkles are most traditionally served boiled and enjoyed with a pin, a pot of mayonnaise, and good company. Unpretentious yet deeply satisfying, they embody the simple pleasures of French coastal eating at its most authentic.

Their firm yet tender flesh and clean, briny taste make them a quiet but essential presence on any serious shellfish spread. Available both live and frozen, Sea House Periwinkles bring a genuine taste of the French Atlantic coast to your table.
