Fresh Live Sea Snails

About this item

Sea snails are gathered by hand and shipped live in ventilated trays. The flesh is dense and chewy, closer to abalone than to a clam, with a clean marine finish and no grit when they have been purged properly. Scrub the shells under cold water, then boil with lemongrass and ginger, or grill over charcoal and dip in a chilli-lime sauce. Tap each shell before cooking: a live snail pulls back and closes, one that stays open should be thrown out.
