Marinated Mud Snails

Marinated Mud Snails

Overview

Authentic Chinese-style marinated mud snails (Bullacta exarata), a beloved street-food delicacy and popular bar snack across China. These small spiral-shelled sea snails have been expertly cleaned, pre-boiled, and marinated in a proprietary blend of Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili, garlic, ginger, star anise, soy sauce, and Shaoxing rice wine. The result is an explosion of numbing-spicy (mala) flavor with a satisfying chewy-bouncy texture that keeps you reaching for more. Each snail is bite-sized and easy to eat - simply suck the meat out or use a toothpick. Ready to eat cold as an appetizer or gently reheated for a warm spicy treat. A true conversation starter at any gathering.
