Fresh-Frozen Sea Snails In Shells
Fresh-Frozen Sea Snails In Shells
Sea snails in their banded brown shells, the aperture a warm apricot orange and the meat drawn back under a dark operculum. Four of them sit on a wooden board in close-up, three more wait on a speckled counter by a window, and a chef lifts a tray of five from the board with a pair of tongs.
The meat is firm and slightly chewy with a sweet, mineral flavour. Boil them briefly and eat them with a skewer and a chilli dip, or simmer them in a light broth with ginger and spring onion.

Handling & storage
Everything leaves the counter chilled, so it reaches your kitchen in the condition it left in.
Keep it cold, cook it soon, or freeze it straight away, and follow the storage note inside your order.
