The sea food (part one)

This week, I want to introduce some delicious seafood that I have tasted before and what I would like to recommend it to you. The spiral shells(鐘螺) are not so easy to get so that it’s a little bit expensive(they were very much long time ago, but people over-catch them so they become very precious now). We often boil it with pure water when it is still fresh, but the follow skill is the key about whether you can eat it or not. Because its special shape, the meat is very deep in the shell and being the shape of a big spiral. So, we have to work hard to knock it on clockwise, so the meet will gradually slide out then you can eat it. The meet chewed very firm texture, and taste a little sweet with a special taste that only belongs to very fresh sea food (sorry I have no appropriate adjective to describe such a delicious taste.) And there is another thing that you have to notice. In the end of the shell meat, there is a long blackish green stuff attaching on it, and you have to remove it before you eat because it taste bitter (it’s the internal organs of the spiral shell.).
