It’s a bivalve mollusc.

It lives in sea zones with a depth from 0 to 10 meters, generally in wave-washed rocks. It lives fixed to rocks thanks to some strands it has. They must always be cleansed as they can carry illnesses like typhus or hepatitis.

They are usually sold farmed and alive, canned or frozen.
