¿Por Que Nos Gusta Comer?
Mariscos
Chilean seafood is superb. Mariscos, or shellfish is
abundant. You'll find almejas (clams), ostras (oysters)
gambas (large, deep-water shrimp), langostas
(large spiny lobsters) broiled or boiled with lemon and butter,
langostinas (small rock lobsters), usually boiled,
locos (a type of abalone), machas (razor clams) either
eaten raw or cooked with parmesan cheese, erizos
(sea urchins), served raw with chopped onion, parsley,
salt and oil, and if you like, with a miniature crab
still attached to it.
Many of these have a strong iodine taste which must be acquired,
but you don't miss giving them a try.
