Check out the top 7 famous snail restaurants in Da Nang near and far

1Da Nang snails – A familiar specialty with young people

1.1 Delicious dishes every season

Although Da Nang snails are only sold in sidewalk shops, they attract many diners from near and far because of their unique flavor that cannot be found anywhere else. Snail dish has long been a familiar ingredient to many generations of Vietnamese people and is present in all provinces and cities. However, in each place there will be a different way of processing, creating snail dishes with different flavors.

If Hanoi has boiled snails and Saigon has snails stir-fried with coconut, then snails are the symbol of Da Nang. Smoking snails are actually stir-fried snails with lemongrass and chili, but instead of using a toothpick, Da Nang people will use their mouths to suck. The types of snails chosen as ingredients for this specialty dish are rice snails, apple snails…

1.2 Processing snails in Da Nang

Although snails are easy to eat, they are difficult to prepare with many strict requirements. Specifically, the chef will have to soak and wash thoroughly to filter out all the dirt, then carefully smash the head of each fish so that diners can smoke it easily. After being prepared, the seller will stir-fry the snails with many different ingredients and spices such as chili, ginger, lemongrass, lime leaves…

When enjoying, diners just need to pick up the snail and suck on it. They will immediately feel the hot, fatty flavor of the snail mixed with the salty spicy water. In particular, Da Nang snails are also eaten with toppings such as grated papaya, grated mango, fried onions…

I don’t know when snail shops have become a gathering and dating place for close friends, family or lovers. The image of people sitting together around plates of snails is very familiar to the group of people who are passionate about exploring Da Nang.
