How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Sea Snails
- Choose live sea snails to make the dish tastier. Fresh sea snails will have tightly closed shells.
- Snails should have a firm shell, a clear opening, and a smooth inner edge.
- Avoid choosing dead snails or those with a strange fishy smell.
How to Clean Snails to Remove Sand
- You can soak the snails in a basin of water with metal objects like a magnet, knife, spoon, etc., for 2 – 3 hours because the snails will release sand faster when they sense the metal smell.
