Shellfish salad is one of the must-try dishes when visiting Phu Quy Island, prepared from a wide range of freshly caught local shellfish such as spiny snail (ốc gai), spotted conch (ốc giác), top shell (ốc nón/ốc đụn), spider conch (ốc bàn tay), and the famous lady snail (ốc vú nàng).
Each type of snail has its own texture and sweetness, and when combined together, they create a flavorful and refreshing dish. The salad is typically served with fresh herbs and grilled rice paper, offering a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and aromatic flavors. The natural sweetness of the shellfish, the heat of chili, and the fragrance of local herbs blend harmoniously, making this dish something you can enjoy again and again without ever getting tired of it.
