Barnacles are edible, although in the US, they are generally ignored. However, in Europe, the Gooseneck barnacle is considered a delicacy and is quite expensive. Yes, they are ugly, but only to those who have never bothered to taste them!

No, goose barnacles are comestible although under normal circumstances the intertidal goose barnacle is the only barnacle eaten by humans. Acorn barnacles though, should not be consumed.
