The Snail is a fish that can be caught using a Crab Pot in any freshwater body of water. It can also be gifted by a pet cat with max friendship. It can also randomly be found at the Traveling Cart for 
195–1,000g. Like all fish caught from the crab pot, it cannot be eaten unless it is used in a Cooking recipe or smoked.
One Snail is contained in the Community Center Fish Tank right after it is repaired.

Tailoring
Snail can be used in the spool of the Sewing Machine to create the Rain Coat. 
It can be used in dyeing, serving as a yellow dye at the dye pots, located in Emily's and Haley's house, 2 Willow Lane.
Fish Pond
Snails can be placed in a Fish Pond, where they will reproduce every 2 days. The initial pond capacity is 3 fish, but the capacity can be increased to 10 by completing three quests. Typical output includes yellow Snail Roe, Green Algae, and various Trash items, but more valuable items are possible starting at population 5.
