Whelks

£3.00

Meaty shellfish, lightly smoked and ready to eat.

✔ Ready To Eat

Our Smoked Whelks are a true seaside favourite — meaty, smoky, and full of natural flavour. Each whelk is lightly smoked in our Aldeburgh smokehouse to bring out its sweetness while keeping that classic shellfish bite. It’s a simple, no-fuss snack that perfectly captures the taste of the Suffolk coast.

We prepare them by hand in small batches, smoking just long enough to add a gentle oak aroma without overpowering the delicate flavour of the shellfish. They’re ready to eat straight from the pot — just add a squeeze of lemon or a dab of vinegar for that authentic coastal taste.

Whelks have long been part of Aldeburgh’s seaside tradition, and our smoked version keeps that story alive — honest, hearty, and straight from the sea to your table.
