Wikipedia definition
3. Whelk​Whelk is a common name which is applied to various different kinds of sea snail, many of which have historically been used, or are still used, by humans 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, not very closely related, families of sea snails.
