I would say you missed out. Barnacles are one of my favorite delicacies, particularly the rock barnacles that you get in the Azores. Served in the shell with a little warm salty water, oh man... I did have barnacles on a recent trip to Barcelona and they weren't quite as good, but they also were not served in the shell.
