Description
Common periwinkle (Littorina littorea) is an edible sea snail native to intertidal waters in the Atlantic Ocean. The common periwinkle has been used as a food source since ancient times, especially in Scotland. They are harvested by hand from where they are found clinging to rocks, or caught in a drag net.
