In Surigao, they stirfry it in oyster sauce. I had it for the first time last July. Thanks for the added information, now I know it is a type of conch.

I had fond memories of these when I was a kid in ilocos. We used to throw a couple of this in charcoal, grill for like 3minutes or so then bang it up with a stone to break the shell.

I’ve had conch before in Florida. They simply dip it in batter then fry. To me, it looked and tasted similar to calamares. If it’s similar to conch then that would be one way of cooking it.

saang cooked (Visayan) adobo style is really delicious! i tried the dish (only P99.00/serving in Surigao) for the first time while backpacking around eastern Mindanao a couple of weeks ago and i couldn’t stop raving about it! tsssssarap talaga!

We love this seashell. My aunt stir fries it with oyster sauce and black beans and onion leaves. I like it when she makes it a spicy. yum!
