I am not sure I am pronouncing the word you are referring to (Bag-A-Lon) correctly but if its what I am thinking of, I have heard the word Big-a-no (not the actual spelling but rather the phenetic spelling). A Big-a-no is a salt water snail. Some people actually collect them from docks (below the water line) and off shore platforms. They boil them like other seafood and eat them. I tried one and it was kind of chewy with very little taste.
