Channel whelk, scientifically known as Buccinum undatum, is a species of sea snail native to the North Atlantic Ocean. These marine mollusks inhabit sandy or muddy ocean floors and are characterized by their spiral shells with distinctive channels running along them.
Channel whelk is a popular seafood delicacy, especially in regions like the northeastern United States and Atlantic Canada, where it's harvested commercially. Its meat is firm and flavorful, often used in various culinary dishes such as soups, stews, and seafood pasta.
