Ốc vú nàng is a Vietnamese shellfish-based culinary specialty from the Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu province.
The snails (almost always breast snail) is washed, folded into a pot, and boiled. They are then pried open and watered once with more boiling water.[1] The snails are typically eaten with salt, pepper, lemon, and chili pepper.[2]
Breast snail salad is also a popular delicacy. The snail meat is sliced lengthwise into thin strips, and mixed with thin-sliced pork skin, pork belly, cucumber, basil, peanut, lemon, chili pepper, and Vietnamese coriander.[3]
