About whelks

Whelks, or sea snails (Buccinum undatum), are widespread in the cold waters of the North Atlantic. These snails are very common in the coastal area cuisine. They are very popular across England.

The texture of these whelks is firm and slightly crunchy and can be characterized by sweet flavours. That is why these whelks are very popular, but the biggest question is: Can the chef cook them properly or not? In our recipes, we give some very good ideas on how to cook these whelks to achieve the best results.

Generally, whelks are available alive and as boiled meat. Boiled meat is easy to use in further cooking, but it loses half of its flavour. Alive whelks are difficult to clean because of their size, so it is a big choice what way you want to use. We will show recipes for using live and already-boiled whelks.
