How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Garlic Snails
- Select snails that have tightly closed shells; when touching the snail meat, it should move, and the meat should be moist with a little slime on the surface, indicating that the snails are still alive.
- Fresh snails usually have a reflex to close up when touched on the outer shell.
- Avoid buying snails with shells that are deeply embedded, their bodies feel soft and mushy, and have an unpleasant smell, as these snails are dead or spoiled.

Grilled Snails
Place the cleaned snails on a grilling rack over medium heat, then pour the scallion oil over the snail meat in the shell to make the snails richer and more flavorful.
