Oh! what is this actually? I have not seen such thing before. It appears like a skull of a deer or something like that. Is it surrounded by fungal growings? quite creepy it is.

The entire thing is a sea shell. The meat is very tasty. The horn like appendages are atually part of the shells. That picture shows the shell is covered with moss. Once you polished the shell, it will transform into a beauty really.

I remember when i was little my late grandparents used to cooked me this called 'Saang' the meat was really tasty when it simmered to coconut juice 'Gata' .😊
