The weird-looking thumb-sized dog claw snail... is considered an expensive and exquisite seafood in Spain and Portugal, but it is commonly eaten along the southern coast of the country. Of course, because of overcrowding, the price has gone up now - -, and there are almost no offshore, and there are more reefs around the islands.
It really tastes great. Just add some spices and steam it quickly over high heat. It’s sweet, smooth and tender. When eating, push aside the rough tube behind the chitinous claw-like shell and eat the exposed bits of meat like a snail. It's a little bigger than a peanut, but the umami taste stays in your mouth for a long time. Excellent.
It is said that this stuff is rich in iodine, calcium, protein and vitamins, etc. After eating, it can restore and enhance the function of body tissue, promote blood circulation and metabolism, and prolong life. It is a high-end seafood. It tastes fresh and sweet, but you have to be careful when eating it. It takes an hour to finish a plate. Originally, the tube was very long when it was fresh, about three or four inches, but it shrank to this little bit when cooked - so it took a little effort to peel it off.
