We find him on the rocks, where there is some sand. It is mainly collected when it is fresh, i.e. in the months of June, July, August and the beginning of September, while it can be preserved during the rest of the time in brine.

It is an excellent addition to vegetables, especially potato salad and tomato salad, to which it gives a unique flavor.
