Whelk is often used as an alternative to the rare and expensive conch. Clearwater’s Whelk meat is pressure cooked and shucked from the shell prior to freezing, resulting in a firm and juicy texture. This process also makes Clearwater’s Whelk a convenient and ideal product to feature in ready-meal applications, including soups, chowders, gumbos and fritters.
Whelk are harvested and processed in Scotland by Clearwater’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Macduff Shellfish. Macduff has been in the fishing industry for over 130 years.
