What it is
Fresh sea snails (e.g., conch, whelk) blanched quickly until tender, then typically served chilled with a savory dipping sauce. Valued for their distinctive chewy texture and clean, oceanic flavor.
Key ingredients
Sea snails, water, salt, optional: keto-friendly cho-gochujang (vinegar, gochugaru, erythritol/stevia, garlic), or simple soy sauce with wasabi.
How to make it keto
Confirm no sugar in the dipping sauce. Request a simple dipping sauce of soy sauce, wasabi, or salt and sesame oil if a more elaborate sauce is suspected to contain sugar.
