Not to be overlooked as merely humble vessels for butter and garlic, tiny periwinkles boast a sweet, briny flavor similar to clams. These plump mollusks are hand sourced near the rocky shores of New England, these whorled-shelled baby snails are perfect brasserie style (a la escargot) or steamed in a broth of soy, miso, and kombu. This is a special order item, based on market availability.
