To be honest, I wouldn't know how to go about eating that...

Just got to pile in and get your hands dirty. Things like the langoustines are fiddly, but they're worth it.

I wouldn't even know what parts are edible...

Brings back good memories! I enjoyed a very good seafood dish in La Caleta this spring. I believed the restaurant is just called 'La Caleta'. Try it if you are still on the island, you won't be dissapointed.

I'd be very grateful to anyone who can tell me what the things in the little black circular shells are, they were absolutely delicious. I did ask the owner at the time but can't remember what he said.
Long ones are mussels, small round are clams.
The little black ones are clams? I thought the ones in the smaller, lighter coloured shells were clams
You can get black clams :) I may be wrong on identifying though. Either way it looks tasty.
Looks like a type of Slipper Shells / small Abalone.

Edit: most likely a type of Limpet. Scroll down a bit on this page.
Thanks, they do look more similar to me. Sadly, not sure I'm going to be able to pick any of those up at the market in Leicester :( Ah well, time to book another trip to Tenerife, the weather is better there anyway.

They looked like that? if so, limpets.
