Forgive my ignorance .  I just stared at those for like 20 minutes.  Do you eat the whole thing?  @Paul Bacino  Or anyone else that knows about these interesting new things (to me)

You peel the leathery skin off and eat the inside meat, using the "toenails" as a handle...

I had this little guy in a restaurant in the Basque area of Spain - there were a few on the plate, but I remembered to take a photo after I finished most of them...  the waitress showed us how to do it (she didn't speak English or Spanish) - you peel back that leathery looking part in the middle, from left to right, towards the nail looking stuff on the right.  All that peachy colored stuff is meat to eat...
