When the word snail is used in its most general sense, it includes sea snails, land snails and freshwater snails. They are of the mollusk family, as are oysters, scallops. and mussels. Snails also live in fish tanks and keep the walls clean.

The fish farm really has but one fish - the sea water bait. So, I don't think it was created as a place to farm fish, which are found in the water formations in the game. Therefore, snails would fit in perfectly in the fish farming plant, since they are often used as bait.

I totally agree and had wondered the same thing.

I knew a young man, his parents had citrus, and olives groves. He went out and collected snails, and then feed them a special diet for a certain amount of time, I am thinking cornmeal,but could be wrong. Then sold them to a market supply. So maybe they are in the Semi, because they have been processed for humans to eat. Sounds good to me. My Youngest Daughter and I samples Es cargo while at Pismo Beach. To me taste like Garlic and Butter.....

To me they are killer bee delish, wherever they come from. They are fed cornmeal to clean out their insides, same as clams, etc., although I never found soaking quahogs in cornmeal made a bit of difference. They, too, are yummy and I miss them!

The sauce they are cooked in and come with them is made with garlic and butter, that is the best...

Oh please don't use those delicious escargots as bait... I love escargots and if they come in the shell and you have to use those little tongs to bring them out is heaven and then some french bread and you are set for life...

I agree 100%. Didn't mean to upset you by abusing the delectable little critters!!! (And don't forget the glass of white wine!) Tonite's supper is mussels in a butter/garlic broth with a small baguette and that wine.

Now you are tempting me to go to the store and get some of those mussels (I like clams) and scallops and make then with the butter/garlic sauce but instead of parsley I like chives on mine... Oh and yes the wine and the baguette... just like it I were in New Orleans.

I stand corrected Grammy Snowbird. I should have googled before I posted. You are right. And now that you have said it I do remember having snails in my fish tanks when I had them. Thanks for correcting me.

Now I too wonder why they aren't in the fish farms.

I wish we could celebrate with a large platter of the little darlings between us!!!
