I am from Antigua, and I have searched throughout the internet for references to the Giant Sea Wilks that we used to get off of the rocks in ocean, and then boil them and cook them in many different ways. I also lived in St. Martin on the French side of the island where they are also eaten as a delicacy. They look like gigantic sea snails with very round, very thick shells, bigger than my hand in many cases.
I did see the surviver man on the discovery channel find them along the shores attached to rocks and eat them, he even called them wilks! It was on an episode where he had to survive on an uninhabited island. Is there anyone else out there that had heard of these before?

In Antigua we have a dish called Fungi, in some islands it is called turned cornmeal. We have that dish as either breakfast lunch or dinner, it is a very versatile dish. You take chopped onions garlic, some people cut up okra and add it to the dish, saute in a large heavy pot. Add butter then throw in your fine grade corn meal. Keep cooking on a very low temperature 'turning' the cornmeal constantly. Add more butter and water slowly (salt & pepper)until it starts to come together. It should have the consistency of very thick mashed potatoes. My grandmother would form balls out of the fungi and serve on the plate with a meat cooked in heavy gravy as an accompaniment to the dish. Usually salt fish or smoked herring or stew chicken.16:12, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
