Description

These Big Snails are prized for their generous size and satisfying, meaty bite — a favorite protein in traditional Nigerian and West African cooking.

They’re a signature ingredient in dishes like Ofe Owerri, Banga Soup, and Nsala (White/Pepper Soup), and can also be grilled or pepper-fried as a delicacy on their own.

Clean thoroughly with lime or alum to remove mucus before cooking, then simmer gently until tender.

Recipe tip: For a peppered snail appetizer, boil until tender, then pan-fry with onions, peppers, and spices.
