Locos con Mayonesa

Locos are large sea snails from the cold waters of southern Chile, prized for their firm, sweet meat. The classic preparation is almost absurdly simple: poach, slice, and serve cold with good mayonnaise and lemon — the purest way to enjoy a luxury ingredient.

Sea, simplicity, and mayonnaise

The locos are tender with a gentle, briny sweetness that pairs perfectly with creamy mayo and a squeeze of lemon. Served chilled on lettuce with bread, it’s a refined, minimalist plate that lets the sea shine.
