If you are looking for a world-class culinary experience featuring thick, succulent, and incredibly crunchy meat, the Melon Shell (locally known as Oc Giac) is an absolute must-try. Wild-caught from deep-sea rocky reefs, the Melon Shell is not only a nutritional powerhouse but also a symbol of luxury and prosperity on any seafood platter.
1. OUTSTANDING FEATURES OF OUR PREMIUM MELON SHELLS
We select only the healthiest, most vibrant shells to ensure top-tier quality for our clients:
-
Impressive Size: The Melon Shell is one of the largest sea snails in the ocean, featuring a thick shell with a signature golden-brown marbled pattern. A single shell can weigh from 0.5kg to over 2kg, yielding an abundant amount of meat.

Unique Dual Texture: The meat consists of two distinct parts: the ivory-white foot muscle, which is firm and crunchy like cartilage, and the rich, buttery, and earthy liver portion.

Pure Oceanic Flavor: It boasts a natural “umami” sweetness and a deep briny essence. Even with minimal seasoning, its natural flavor is irresistible.
-
100% Wild-Caught: Harvested naturally from offshore reefs in the Central and Southern seas of Vietnam, ensuring the meat is clean, lean, and firm.
