Best Snails with Yam in Edmonton

About Our Snails with Yam

Snails are a prized delicacy in Nigerian cuisine, enjoyed across many West African cultures for their unique texture and ability to absorb bold, complex flavours. At The Tantalizers African House, we prepare our snails African-style — cleaned and cooked in a rich, peppery sauce made with palm oil, onions, scotch bonnet peppers, crayfish, and a mix of traditional seasonings.

The snails are simmered until tender and deeply infused with the spicy, savoury sauce, then served alongside freshly boiled yam that provides a starchy, mild counterbalance to the heat. This combination is a classic Nigerian pairing that brings comfort and excitement in equal measure. Whether you grew up eating snails in Nigeria or are trying them for the first time in Edmonton, this dish is a true celebration of West African culinary heritage.
