Whelks- ideas needed

[Elouera]

I put whelks into fish pie, but how do you eat them? Just plain, or in certain recipes- if so, in what?

Haven't had it for years but my Nan did them with mushrooms in a garlicky sauce.
Chewy fuckers but nice.

@TheQueef- were they served as a main or just a side dish?

[TheQueef]

Main dish as the protein.
Heavy on the whelks because they were cheap and served with mash and green beans.

The whelk juice flavoured the mushrooms so it felt a lot more luxurious than it was you need bread and butter to mop up
