Stuffed snails are currently a popular food in the market. Growing commercial stuffed snails is a new economic development direction, many farmers have escaped poverty to get rich. Stuffed snails are easy to raise, do not cost investment but give very high efficiency. Photo: LNC. Ha Son is currently one of the communes with the largest number of people and area for commercial snail farming (with 9 farming households) along with a lot of experience in aquaculture. such as Mr. Nguyen Xuan Bac 5 sao, Pham Hong Hien, Nguyen Xuan Hai (3 sao each), Mr. Tran Van Binh 4 sao… Many households in Yen Son commune (Ha Trung district) also raise snails stuffed with nets. , reaching an income of 35 – 40 million VND / sao (excluding costs), the profit is 2-3 times higher than that of some other aquatic products. Recently, Ha Trung District People’s Committee has implemented a model of linking commercial stuffed snail farming according to the value chain associated with product consumption in Yen Duong commune. The model for assessing the adaptability, productivity, income and economic efficiency of stuffed snails originated from Tam Phuc Aquatic Breeds Co., Ltd (Yen Dinh district), transferring technical advances to farmers. commercial stuffed snails, forming a chain of production and consumption of products. Before the implementation, 2 selected farmers, Mr. Le Van Tuy and Mr. Le Xuan Dau (Yen Duong commune) signed a commitment to participate in the implementation of the model (along with 20 other households in the commune) approved by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. District Agricultural Service cooperates with District Farmers’ Association to train and disseminate technical knowledge on commercial stuffed snail farming. Accordingly, Mr. Tuy used 800 m2 of farmland for farming ponds, and at the same time received 80,000 seed snails; Mr. Dau uses 700 m2 of farmland to build a pond and receive 70,000 snail seed. Each nest of stuffed snails minus the cost, can give an income of over 60 million VND. Photo: LNC. Households participating in the model receive free support on seeds and techniques. Before stocking snails, the pond is dredged clean, sprinkled with lime powder to neutralize the pH in order to eliminate all kinds of carp, carp, and turtle that can eat snails. The pond bank is cleared of bushes to avoid nesting mice and convenient when harvesting. In ponds, put water hyacinth and water spinach to increase the coolness of the pond and create more places for snails to cling. The water level in the pond is maintained from 0.8-1.5m. The measured pH is 6.5 – 8; Dissolved oxygen reached the permissible threshold, the stocking density of snails was 100/m2 of pond, the weight was from 0.4 – 0.6 grams/individual. Selected snail seed are healthy, good quality, shell is not chipped, stamped, top shell is bright color. When stocking snails, take water from the pond and pour it into pots, drop the media (female duckweed, cassava leaves…) and put the snails in a pot to soak for 10-15 minutes to balance the living environment. pots and then slowly drop the seed snails into the pond gently to avoid building the shells and damaging the snails… The main food of stuffed snails is duckweed, green vegetables, cereals. Snails have the habit of both floating and living on the bottom, moving slowly and unevenly distributed in the pond, often concentrated in some areas in the pond. Therefore, it is necessary to create different terrains and depths to diversify habitats for snails and easily monitor and care for snails. Ha Trung district (Thanh Hoa) is aiming to build the farming of stuffed snails into commodity production, associated with OCOP products. Photo: LNC. After stocking snails until 2 months old, there is no need to change the water. To the 3rd month of culture, change the water once every 2 weeks, each time changing 3/4 of the water in the pond. In the households in the model in Yen Duong commune, due to good management and care techniques, snails grow well, evenly and healthy. After 3 – 4 months of farming, snails reach a commercial snail weight of 25 – 30 pieces/kg, then start harvesting. Use a boat to go around the pond to catch big snails (in the morning) because snails cling to plant leaves, cassava leaves, and duckweed roots to eat, so harvesting is easy… According to the calculations of the households in the model, minus costs, the profit reached 61 million VND/sao (an increase of more than 20 million VND/sao compared to current farming experience). In addition to economic efficiency, the technique of raising stuffed snails is quite simple, the care is not too complicated. The main food for snails is clean and easy-to-grow vegetables, raising stuffed snails has no adverse impact on the ecological environment… Ha Trung district has recently provided technical training for 70 farming households and households wishing to raise stuffed snails to continue replicating in the district, towards building product brands (OCOP). In the early morning, snails often float to the surface, clinging to cassava leaves and duckweed to eat, so farmers can know which areas are more concentrated, avoiding excess or lack of food. Food for snails must be clean, leave the whole plant, leaves, not chopped because snails have the habit of sticking to the surface of the leaves to eat. Only feed concentrates (cereals) once a day. Adjust the amount of food according to the snail’s ability to eat (from 0.5-1% of the snail weight in the pond).

The kitchen snails of Tinh Que establishment in Cao Lanh are becoming a commercial product that attracts attention. Previously, I only heard of this dish orally. How do you say that? Not at the end of the market. The establishment’s instruction manual for snails is on the package – a bamboo basket with wide eyes, the size of a human head. I don’t remember the verbatim, but the gist is that before steaming, put the snails in a large container and put three eggs in it with a bag of milk. Let it take about two hours for the snails to drink up before it is processed. People in the West know how to take advantage of the behavior of the common convex snail called pila: in the dry season, when you sleep, in the rainy season, you wake up to eat, to invent the kitchen snail dish. There are several types of edible apple snails: the field snail (pila polita), which lives in garden ditches, canals, along the edges of fields, in the fields, and snails (pila gracilis) (1), which live in places where there sedges – perhaps hence the name, and rock snails (pila?), which live in the mountains. In terms of quality, snails are the best, because the meat is chewy and lumpy. More than two decades ago, snails became increasingly scarce as a result of scientists calling for the import of golden apple snails for export. The golden apple snail is an invasive species that has become a scourge for rice-growing countries. As an invasive species, rapidly growing herds, spreading on a large scale, so according to the ‘territorial law’, ‘yes, I don’t have you’, the snail has almost disappeared.

Photo: NGUYEN NGUYEN Snail snails are different from the common-eyed apple snail, which is the low, not pointed and tall snail tower like the bronze apple snail. In recent years, people in Dong Thap have chosen to raise snails a lot because of the higher commercial price, due to a time of scarcity. Buyers of snails in the attic also choose snails. The pila snail is an amphibian, lives on land during drought, sleeps all the time and breathes through lungs. In the rainy season, it lives under water, breathes with gills and goes foraging. According to that habit, people put snails in baskets in the attic of the kitchen for snails to sleep for a long time. When you want to eat snails, give them a ‘gracious’ meal of good food. Normal snail meat is delicious, feeding them milk and eggs will be more delicious. There is something to pay attention to the fire, so that the snail does not get tough. Eat bulot, fence the sea People who know how to eat bulot snails must first be cod from Newfounland from the late 19th century, then Normandy, French, etc., then Saigon and Can Tho. Not sure if I am the last person to know about this snail when eating them in Can Tho at the end of April 2021? Eating a snail, don’t say it’s good or bad, the more thought-provoking thing is how the French conserve resources through fishing restrictions. In 1970, the opening Granville auction attracted interest in the bulot sea snail. Before that, the luxury on the dinner table of Westerners only had oysters and red crayfish. As for snails, there are only snails living on land that many Vietnamese shake their heads. In 1980, a group of operators was formed, and in 1985, mining required a license. The smallest size snail to exploit is 4.5cm long. In 2000, due to a decrease in stocks, many measures were put in place: a fishing break in January, the time when snails spawn. The quota is 300kg per person and 900kg per ship, limiting the number of permits, increasing the separation distance from 1.9 to 2.2cm. The number of catches was reduced by 6,000 tons, the number of miners was reduced from 82 to 68. The catch of bulot snails is only using trap cages. Fishermen use cages with bait dropped on the sea floor to lure snails. Fishing as if it does not frighten the snail, stress reduces the quality of the meat. Stir-fried bulot snails with garlic butter. Photo: NGUYEN NGUYEN In the past, bulot snails were only caught by the French as bait for the large cod fishery in Newfoundland as far as Canada. Specifically, on May 18, 1886, the Newfoundland Parliament enacted a law prohibiting people on the island from trading with foreigners and especially not selling and exporting bait to French fishermen. This bait includes squid, herring or roe. Difficult to get wise, some French fishermen came up with the idea of ​​​​using bulot snails as bait for cod fishing. A long time thanks to the new type of bait, the catch is estimated to be five times more. Saint-Malo authorities, press fear a resource depletion. All of a sudden, the cod didn’t want to eat the bulot bait anymore. It wasn’t until the early 1980s that the snail, scientifically known as buccinum undatum, appeared on the dining table and in the kitchen. Within 20 years, the French quickly realized the problem: the output was getting bigger and bigger, the resources were getting exhausted. Obviously the snail meat is delicious. The day I ate snail bulot in Can Tho, the shop sold by the slice. The dish is called snail bulot sauteed with garlic butter. For the French, known for their fine dining, they say an ontological question has long haunted them about the relationship between snails and mayonnaise: can the former survive without it. the second one? It’s like the correlation between snails – the national drug of the West – and garlic butter. It’s horrible to be missing either. But Vietnamese tongue overturns two pairs of categories. They let snail bulot survive with garlic butter. That day I ate delicious and fragrant. But the smell of the sea is only very light, maybe it is a more subjective feeling, because in Vietnam, I used to eat all kinds of sea snails. Bulot snails from France are imported to Vietnam in the form of frozen snails with their shells intact. Many places sell online for prices from 350,000 VND or more, depending on the size. But certainly there is no milk snail like milk squid, milk anchovies, milk crabs in Vietnam. Strict European fishing regulations. The last class snail is 4.5cm, each class is 2.2cm apart. The people of Granville are also worth learning that, although snails are found in many places in France, they have registered for geographical indications early. The Protection of Geographical Indication (PGI) for the Granville Bay bull snail was granted on February 7, 2019, after 7 years of filing. PGI is the quality talisman of this bay snail. —– (1) – Ngo Thi Thu Thao, Le Van Binh, Comparison of some morphological and reproductive biology characteristics of the field snail and the autumn snail in Dong Thap province, Can Tho University.
