Visiting big Auntie with Mom before heading off to set up for UVIC Campus Community Garden Spring Market. Auntie's husband harvested oysters & sea snails with his friend, late last night. I haven't had sea snails in almost a decade. We eat them with 2 different dipping sauces - nuoc cham sauce with lemon & garlic butter sauce.
