So, what is whelk?
Whelks are a type of sea snail commonly found in the coastal waters of the North Atlantic and the North Sea. They have a hard, pointed shell that is typically gray or brown in color and can grow up to six inches in length. Whelks are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world and are commonly used in seafood dishes. They have a firm, slightly chewy texture and a sweet, slightly briny flavor. Whelks can be prepared in a variety of ways, including steamed, boiled, or pan-fried, and are often served with garlic butter or lemon juice. They are also a good source of protein and other essential nutrients.
