Whelk is a common name that is applied to various kinds of sea snail, many of which have historically been used, or are still used, by humans and other animals for food.
Although a number of whelks are relatively large and are in the family Buccinidae (the true whelks), the word whelk is also applied to some other marine gastropod mollusc species within several families of sea snails that are not very closely related.
The common name "whelk" is also spelled welk or even wilks. The word originated from the Proto-Germanic root "weluka", which may come from the Proto-Indo-European root "wel-", meaning to turn or revolve.
The species, genera and families referred to by this common name vary a great deal from one geographic area to another.
There are 137 calories in 100g from 24g of protein 0.34g of fat and 8g of carbs in average Whelk.
In the United States, whelk refers to several large edible species in the genera Busycon and Busycotypus, which are now classified in the family Buccinidae. These are sometimes called Busycon whelks.
This whelk got a nasty sting when it tried to eat a flameshell mollusc in Loch Carron, NW Scotland. The flameshell stings thewhelk and then makes an exit by swimming away.
comonly called a "conch" in the southeast, this is a knobbed whelk, and the main ingreidient in a cold salad called Scungilli. In the northeast, this is what is called snail salad.

Whelk about 12" is in the beginning stage of eating a clam. The whelk first hunted and found the clam, and grasped it pulling it out of the mud and seagrass and will envelope the clam, eat it, then expel the shell. In many countries whelks are synominous with conch and are enjoyed by many. Humans also enjoy eating clams too.

Exploding the myths surrounding the Friday visit to the fish van.
I remember my mother's
Sister's husband's brother
Working in the goldmine full-time
Filling in for sunshine
Filing into tight lines
Of ordinary beehives
The door screams I hate you
Hate you hanging around my blue jeans
Why is there no breeze
No currency of leaves
No current through the water wire
No feelings I can see
I trust no emotion
I believe in locomotion
But I've turned to rust as we've discussed
Though I must have let you down
too many times
In the dirt and the dust
I have no idea how this happens
All of my maps have been overthrown
Happenstance has changed my plans
So many times my heart has been outgrown
Now everybody's feeling all alone
Can't tell you who I am
When everybody's feeling all alone
Can't tell you who I am
I am looking forward
Toward the shadows tracing bones
Our faces stitched and sewing
Our houses hemmed into homes
Trying to be thankful
Our stories fit into phones
And our voices lift so easily
A gift given accidentally
When we're not sure
