But it turns out it's very likely that it's a piece of driftwood covered with gooseneck barnacles, the New Zealand Marine Sciences Society told the news outlet.

Gooseneck barnacles are usually found attached to floating objects in the ocean, as well as wharves and piers, according to the Australian Museum.

It's considered a rare delicacy in Portugal and Spain, where the crustaceans are known as percebes and can cost more than 100 Euros (US$106) per plate in restaurants. Even everyone's favourite shouty chef man Gordon Ramsay is a fan of them.

While this discovery might be appetising for fishermen along Iberian coasts, the smell is more confronting for curious Kiwis who've paid a visit to the object. "Yesterday afternoon it was just dry and smelly," Doubleday told Mashablevia Messenger.

Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder.
