ISO: Escargots in NYC

[slkinsey]

Anyone know where I can get some? To cook at home?

[HungryChris]

The Whole Foods in CT, RI and MA usually have them made up and sold by the piece at the fish counter.

If anyone is ever looking for them. I found canned escargots in Zabar's... in the coffee section, next to the honey. Right where you would expect to find them.

And I did find escargots at Whole Foods, except they were frozen, ready to bake, covered with some sort of garlic/butter sauce.

How did the canned escargot work out? I'm on a similar quest now...

[the old cook]

I use canned ones all the time...just rinse, make your butter mix, clean the empty shells you have purchased (hopefully, previously) by boiling in water for at least five minutes, stuff the clean shells with the butter, the snail, more butter, and whatever else you desire. Bake, serve! Very easy, and oh so wonderful with bread to soak up all that delicious garlicky butter!!

I find mine at almost any normal grocery, if not there, call around to a good Italian/or ethnic grocery; normally they carry them. Enjoy!
