I also heard that the invasive African snail, which is now just running rampant throughout Puna, was initially brought here, intended for human consumption as escargot. Couldn't find anything to corroborate that tho.
They are thought of as delicacies in some countries. I tried some once in college in my French class. They did taste good.

Some of these other youtube clips make the snails look so tasty!
That gives me a business idea.
1.) Raise your own snails. (shouldn't be hard, just collect a few, crush them on various places of your property and each crush should produce hundreds of eggs)
2.) In a few months they should be everywhere, grow some plants for them to eat or just collect dog poop and other manure. ( I find them eating that stuff often, they seem to like feces as much as plants)
3.) Gather, prepare and cook.
4.) Maybe bottle them up. Sealed and cooked, soaking in brine of olive oil, garlic, salt, rosemary and maybe other herbs.
5.) Market and sell as exotic Hawaiian escargot.
