scientific name: mountain pit snail. Widely distributed in Nanling Mountains of China, the whole of Guangxi and the northern part of Viet Nam. This species is just a kind of pit snail. It is called "ghost snail". As far as I know, it is only in this area of Jianghua Yao Autonomous County, Hunan Province. Most areas in Guangxi are called "Niuluo".
in tuojiang town, where jianghua county is located, there are rivers flowing into the tuojiang river in two directions, which are generally called Hedong and Hexi by local people. Listening to the people who have lived by these two rivers for a long time, this ghost snail is very strange. It is almost extinct in Hexi, but it does exist in Hedong, and it is only found in a section less than 111 meters. It is very strange. In addition, this snail only comes out at night, so the people on the river have given it a horrible name "Ghost snail".
In the past, this kind of snail was almost eaten by no one. I wonder if it was called "ghost snail"? But now the market is in short supply. The meat of this snail is crisp, tender and fresh, and because it only grows in pollution-free mountains and rivers, it has no sandy feeling and muddy smell. It is a rare delicacy. It's as delicious as the snail in Jianghuama City, which is famous in Yongzhou! Friends or restaurants who want authentic local ghost snails in Jianghua can contact me at 18166272939.
