| Size | 190 x 148 mm |
| Locality | El Palmito, Jalisco, Mexico. |
| Note | RARE MONSTER SIZE!!!! Extremely wide exemplar. Just a really heavy, massive, impressive, thick thick lip and natural conditions. Patella mexicana are really hard to get species believe me!!! Top Natural!! 190x148mm approximately. Very natural conditions specimen on top fully with all kind of attachments like brown algae, barnacles and lottia species. VERY RARE NOWADAYS AND AT THIS SIZE HARD TO GET!! Difficult and dangerous to get them off. Took me about 2 years until i found a place where they live and how to take them off from stones ( between big waves). The fisherman would collect them for food and broke the shell to get the meat. They look for Oysters or Percebes and some times one P. mexicana is there, so they had to wait for the best day (calm day), otherwise its always wavy with a lot of currents and danger. And of course you need to go far from the coastline until you will find a good place for P. mexicana. The ventral side is just fresh and amazing!!! Don't lose the opportunity, seldom offered with this amazing fresh quality!!!Estimation : 240 to 300 euro. Found at night attached to the rocks at high tide from 0m until 2m deep. Between El Palmito and El Estrecho near la Ampolla Rock, Jalisco, Mexico. February 2019, Collected By "Colo" my father and me; Eduardo Amador Moreno. Lets start with gentleman 200 euro Good luck!!!! amigos. MEXICO PACIFIC |
