Not commercially, to the best of my knowledge, but I have a few recipes for
limpet soup if anyone ever finds themselves in a position to try them...
plus I found a recipe at http://www.red4.co.uk/Recipes/limpet-pie.htm for
limpet pie, which sounds interesting. Has anyone ever tried a limpet? I've
been told they can be tough, like whelks, but wonder if that depends on the
cooking method, as it does with squid?
