This snail has a strange shape, looks like a turtle’s leg, but has a special sweet taste that makes rich people fascinated.

Turtle-foot snails are one of the rarest shellfish species. It is very difficult to catch them because these snails often cling tightly to cliffs in the middle of the sea.

Their price is hundreds of times more expensive than regular seafood, so they are also known as a food only for people with “extra money”.

It is known that the price of turtle-foot snails can be up to 200-300 Euro/kg (5.2 million – 7.8 million VND/kg).

At the restaurant, each plate of turtle-foot snails costs about 100 Euros (2.6 million VND).

Turtle-footed snails have a very long time to grow, it even takes up to 10 years for them to have the thickest meat.

In China, the price of turtle-foot snails is extremely expensive, a small one can cost up to 900 yuan (3.1 million VND).

However, many people who have money are not sure they can buy this type of snail.

In particular, the inedible parts account for nearly half of the weight of the snail. Therefore, it is quite easy to understand why they are considered one of the most expensive seafood on the planet.

This snail only lives in places with very clean water sources. If sea water is polluted, they will not be able to live, and will even die very quickly.

Their food is wrack algae that grows on rocky islands along the ocean coast.

Whenever hunting snails, fishermen must strictly follow weather rules and understand the tide schedule to avoid risks.

When catching turtle-footed snails, you will have to peel them skillfully. Because if they are torn when separated from the rock, the turtle’s snails will die and will no longer be worth consuming.

In Europe, they are considered a high-end seafood that is popular with many people. Snails not only have high economic value but are also very nutritious.

The snail itself has a special flavor so it does not need to be prepared too elaborately, just boiling it is delicious enough.
