Ever tried Nassa mudsnails?
A brother-in-law (who is apparently as nuts as I am) and I tried them once. We figured we'd had periwinkles and tulip shells, etc., so why not?
I'll tell you why not. They taste exactly like mud.And tree oysters taste like algae.

Many years ago some colleagues and I staged a unique tasting event in a pal's state-of-the-art kitchen - fresh specimens of five, count 'em five, species of Pleurotomariidae. Sliced raw, fricaseed, fried, stewed - all were pretty much inedible, and one of us was Japanese, which gives you some idea.

Subject: [CONCH-L] favorite mollusk recipes?

Now well into the holiday season, here's a chance to leave taxonomy, ecology and all serious molluscan pursuits aside. The link to a recipe for Oyster and Chipotle Stew is from the Washington Post, and should be accessible even if you don't subscribe. I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds yummy.https://www.washingtonpost.com/recipes/sopa-de-ostion-al-chipotle-chipotle-oyster-soup/18093/?itid=lk_inline_manual_11
Any other Conch-L'ers have a favorite mollusk-based recipe? Maybe time for a COA cookbook?
Cheers! And Happy Holidays!
