The full picture and text will tell you the difference between Fushou snail and field snail.

Although both Fushou snail and field snail appear on midnight snack stalls, field snails are often several times more expensive and safer than Fushou snails. But many bosses often sell Fushou snails as field snails in order to make money. The editor of Tuliu.com is here to teach you how to distinguish between Fushu snail and field snail. Let's take a look.

I. the difference between Fushou snail and field snail

1. Check the appearance

Field snail buttocks are like pagodas, pointed and three-dimensional; Fushou snail buttocks are like poop, very flat and slightly shorter. Basically, it's just the best and most intuitive way to identify.

2. View the color

Fushou snail is also called golden snail because the color of Fushou snail is mostly light yellow. And the field snail is dark brown.

3. Look at hardness

The shell of Fushu snail is so brittle that it can be easily cracked by hand and properly broken on the ground, while the shell of field snail is hard, not only unbreakable, but also difficult to be pinched by hand.

Therefore, when we eat, we find that the snail shell is easy to crush, which is very likely to be a non-field snail.

4. Egg differentiation

Snail eggs are transparent and have jelly-like carriers, which are generally submerged in water; Fushou snail eggs are pink and generally stick to plants, stones and even water surface.

Therefore, if you see snails with pink eggs on the shore in the wild, don't try to catch them back for stir-frying or barbecue.

Second, the method of being unable to distinguish the field snail Fushou snail

There are many other identification methods online, but they are not entirely correct. We can serve as a certain reference, but not an absolute reference.

1. Look at the head

This statement is not true. Field snails also have field snails. Also known as "Datian snail". Fushou snails also have small ones. Is the larva Fushu snail. Indistinguishable in size.

2. Look at the lines

The grain of the shell of the snail is horizontal, and the pattern of the field snail is vertical. It is a pity that the pattern of the snail is vertical, even horizontal and vertical.

3. See tentacles

Tentacles do tell the difference. However, when you use so many seasonings to make midnight snacks, what else can you see?

The above is the difference between the Fushou snail and the field snail brought by the editor of Tuliu. in fact, it can be well distinguished. However, the editor has to say here that, in fact, many living things in freshwater have parasites, and all freshwater creatures cannot be eaten raw. If people are big enough to eat Fushu snail as sashimi, it may not be physical problems, but mental need to see a doctor first. Therefore, we should not just guard the snail and ignore other aquatic foods with high incidence of parasites. Don't be naive to think that field snails are free of parasites.
