Whelks have a gritty texture that would be difficult to eat if they were as large as scungilli because of their small size. I’ve eaten larger whelks raw with the muscle sliced thin, breaking the shell, removing the whelk, cutting off the back, rinsing, and eating right away or letting it rest.

Whelks can be purchased uncooked and boiled with salt and black pepper for a few minutes, however, stores in France sell them already cooked. We did this the other day: we bought shrimp and whelks and ate them with mayonnaise. Easy (no cooking required), inexpensive, delectable, and nutritious.

The Whelks belong to the marine snails which make up the Buccinidae family. (If you want to be less formal, you could call them “marine escargots.”) Their shells are gracefully coiled, and their meat is soft and luscious when cooked properly. In Europe, whelks are very popular.
