Suckling snails

Not located in a shiny space where traffic travels across so heavily, Danang’s ốc hút (or suckling snails) usually arise at the local street vendors that are charming in such of their rustic way to all the foodies out there looking for a local delight.

Locals don’t fill their empty stomach with snails but more so a delighting joy of suckling these. Da Nang suckling snails are usually steamed or boiled in coconut water, where they gain such natural sweetness. Servings usually come with sweet and salty fish sauce, the enemy is your own temptation. Suckling snails also add-ons with various ‘toppings’ including shredded papaya and mango, fried onions, will be the perfect after-crunch to the harmonious sweet, savory, and pure fatty goodness.

A full plate of Da Nang snails has a very reasonable price, only from 10,000 VND to 20,000 VND, which answers why it’s been loved so much by the students and office workers.
