Escargot is a dish of buttery snails cooked from a Snail and Garlic. Willy sends the recipe once his friendship reaches five hearts. It restores a large amount of energy and health and gives +2 Fishing for a very long time. That makes it a strong meal for a long day of fishing. Its ingredients are humble: snails come from freshwater Crab Pots, and garlic is a quick Spring crop. Gus loves Escargot, which gives the Saloon keeper an easy loved gift from the farm kitchen.
The in-game description reads: Butter-soaked snails cooked to perfection.
Recipe
Willy mails the recipe after his friendship reaches five hearts. It is the second of his three cooking letters, after Chowder at three hearts and before Lobster Bisque at nine.
Cooking a Snail with Garlic makes Escargot.
Snails are caught in Crab Pots placed in fresh water, such as rivers, lakes and ponds. Fishing level 3 unlocks the Crab Pot recipe, and the pots can also be bought at Willy's shop. Snails can be caught in every season, so a few pots in the river keep a steady supply.
Garlic is a Spring crop that is ready only four days after planting. Pierre's General Store sells Garlic Seeds in Spring from the second year onwards. Since snails come in all year but garlic only grows in Spring, it pays to store a stack of garlic for the rest of the year.
Like every dish, Escargot needs the kitchen in an upgraded farmhouse or a Cookout Kit.
Escargot can also be bought at the Desert Festival, where Gus sells it for Calico Eggs. A Mystery Box can contain one too.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects
Eating Escargot gives +2 Fishing for about seventeen minutes. It also restores a large amount of energy and health.
Escargot sits between Willy's other two early fishing dishes. Chowder lasts just as long but gives only +1 Fishing. Dish O' The Sea gives +3 Fishing, but the buff fades after a third of the time. For a long fishing day, Escargot is the stronger choice of the three.
Qi Seasoning makes a stronger serving. A seasoned Escargot is gold quality. Its Fishing buff rises to +3, the buff lasts half as long again, and it restores 80 percent more energy and health.
Prices
Escargot sells for a modest price, so cooking adds little value over selling a Snail and Garlic raw. It is cooked for its buff and as a gift rather than for profit. Qi Seasoning raises its sale price by half.
Gifts
Gus loves Escargot. He also loves Fish Taco and Tropical Curry, but Escargot is the easiest of the three to make, with only two ingredients.
Most other villagers like it, as they like most cooked dishes. Abigail, Alex, Caroline, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Evelyn, George, Haley, Harvey, Jas, Jodi, Kent, Leah, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent, Willy and the Wizard all like it.
Willy dislikes most cooked dishes but likes those made from fish and seafood, so Escargot pleases him too. Krobus and Leo dislike it.
These villagers love receiving Escargot as a gift.

Notes
In tailoring, Escargot in the Sewing Machine with Cloth makes the Chef Coat.
Escargot is one more dish toward the cooking achievements. Cook needs ten different dishes, Sous Chef calls for twenty-five, and Gourmet Chef calls for every recipe.
