About Sea snails

Sea snails, also known as marine gastropods, are cherished delicacies in many coastal cuisines, particularly in Mediterranean, Asian, and Caribbean dishes. Rich in lean protein, they provide essential nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health, heart function, and energy metabolism. Their low-fat content makes them a healthy choice for those seeking lighter, nutrient-dense seafood options. Sea snails are often enjoyed grilled, stewed, or in savory broths, bringing a subtle oceanic flavor to dishes. However, they can be high in sodium depending on preparation methods and sauces, so moderation is key for individuals watching their salt intake. Always ensure sea snails are properly cooked to avoid potential health risks associated with raw or undercooked seafood. Their unique texture and ability to absorb bold flavors make them a versatile and nutritious addition to diverse culinary traditions.
