Periwinkles, known widely as isam, are the small sea snails that give South-South Nigerian cooking its signature bite. They are briny and faintly sweet, with a firm, chewy texture that holds up to long simmering.
This is the 2L size, enough shellfish to carry a full family pot. They are the classic addition to afang and edikang ikong, and they work just as well stirred through okro soup or a peppery seafood pot alongside dried fish and crayfish. Prices are in RWF.
