How to Cook a Moon Snail
The Moonsnail is rarely seen, mainly hiding in the sea and burying itself in the sand. This predatory creature eats other mollusks, including its own kind, but prefers clams. The Moonsnail will attach itself to the clam and over the next few days it will drill a hole into the clam. It will then inject its proboscis into the whole and drain the meat from the clam. The Moonsnail is not a typical dish, but it can be boiled and served. Does this Spark an idea?
