Kuroro snails sell for 30 yuan per jin at the supermarket, but you can just pick them up at the seaside and eat as many as you want.

The best thing about living by the sea is catching all kinds of seafood at the beach, and it is all wild. Of course, the easiest thing to do is pick up sea snails, and the most common one you come across is a kind that tastes bitter at first but ends with a sweet aftertaste: the kuroro snail. This unassuming little sea snail sells for 30 yuan per jin in the supermarket, and if you want it as a dish to go with drinks, 3 jin is not even enough.

In our rural area, after the holidays many children's most common form of entertainment is going into the sea. They follow the tide out and go barefoot into the water to pick up shells and catch small sea fish or sea shrimp. The more sensible kids turn over rocks everywhere, because under the rocks there are all kinds of sea snails, and kuroro snails make up the largest number. Although injuries are unavoidable, since there are many broken shells in the sea that often cut hands and feet, normally everyone would scream in pain, but in the sea, after the wounds are soaked in seawater, the pain is not that intense, and since everyone is competing to see who can pick the most kuroro snails, they do not take these small injuries seriously at all. This is the charm of catching seafood.

Many sea harvesters also go around picking kuroro snails after finishing their work. Most of them pick them to eat themselves, as a dish to go with drinks at night, but their experience means they always pick a lot, so younger people wait for them on shore and buy directly from them in person, at only a few yuan per jin, absolutely much cheaper than anywhere else. Actually, there are very few sea snail species in the sea around here, and only the kuroro snail is left as the most abundant, because not many people eat it plain, and since it is cooling in nature, many people get diarrhea as soon as they eat it, so it is not considered to have much market value. Of course, for people who like to drink, because eating kuroro snails is rather inconvenient, it is very suitable for drinkers to savor slowly.

Kuroro snails are available all year round. As long as there are rocks in the sea and some seawater covering the area around them, you are sure to find many good-sized kuroro snails underneath. On the sea rocks where kuroro snails grow, there are also other sea snails, some more valuable than kuroro snails, but because their numbers are very small, the sea harvesters do not spend time deliberately looking for them. As for kuroro snails, just flip over any rock and you can find dozens!
