First of all, I am going to explain that the pepitona (turkey wing), as it is called in Venezuela, is a mollusk, known as Arca Zebra or also known as turkey wing.
Thus began my excellent weekend, with this gastronomic adventure, the pepitonas (turkey wing) cumanesas!
I decided to try the world of exotic seafood, and what better way to do it than tasting the famous pepitonas (turkey wing) de Cumana.
A recommendation that I have been getting since I arrived to this hot land but full of beautiful beaches, I never tire of repeating it, it is a small paradise far away and hidden in Venezuela, called Cumana in the State of Sucre.
And my day came, the day I told my partner, it's today, it's time, take me to try the pepitonas (turkey wing) that they mention so much in a place called the rock at the edge of the beach.
Those small and curious shells that harbor a unique flavor. After all, life is too short not to take a chance, right?
I arrived at the beach with my companion, ready to face this culinary challenge. We approached the seafood stand, and there they were, the pepitonas (turkey wing) waiting to be devoured. To be honest, they looked like little marine aliens, but that only increased my excitement and curiosity.
The first bite was a sensory experience. The crunch of the shell, followed by that salty taste and a slight sour touch from the lemon, was like an explosion of flavor in my mouth! I looked at my partner with a mixture of surprise and excitement, I was conquering the pepitonas (turkey wing)!
But here comes the funniest part, trying to eat them elegantly! Have you ever seen anyone try to eat a pepitona (turkey wing) without looking like a clumsy duck? Well, I assure you that our attempt was quite the comedy show, we even tried to imitate the sounds of the waves while eating them!
After a few laughs and a good amount of devoured pepitonas (turkey wing) and a few Zulia beers, I realized that I had discovered a real gastronomic treasure. This weekend at the beach was a perfect mix of laughter, sun, sea, excellent company, good cold ones and pepitonas (turkey wing).
So, if you ever have the opportunity to try pepitonas (turkey wing), don't hesitate for a second! It will be an experience you will never forget. Just make sure you have someone around to capture those moments of pure fun on camera.
This marine delight on the shore of the beach called pepitonas (turkey wing) was exquisite for my palate, I enjoyed them very much, if you have a daring palate I recommend them 100%.
