Frozen Processed Whelk

Product Description:
Whelk is a large marine mollusk found in the cold waters of the Far Eastern region (the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan). It is often compared to scallops or squid, but it has its own unique flavor and dense texture. After being harvested, the whelk is cleaned from its shell, thoroughly washed, and frozen in a processed form (without shell and intestines) using shock freezing. The product retains all its nutritional properties and is suitable for quick culinary preparation.

Taste and Texture:
Whelk meat is firm, crunchy, with a delicate ocean flavor and a slight sweetness. With proper thermal treatment (boiling, frying, grilling), it remains elastic and juicy. Its taste qualities allow it to be used as an alternative to squid, scallops, or even octopus, especially in gourmet and Pan-Asian cuisines.

Nutritional Value and Benefits:
Whelk meat is rich in protein (about 19g/100g), contains minimal fat, and almost no carbohydrates. It is a dietary, low-calorie (up to 100 kcal/100g), natural seafood product rich in phosphorus, iron, potassium, and vitamin B12. It is recommended for a healthy and balanced diet, including sports and dietary nutrition.

Supply Format and Storage Conditions:
The processed whelk is delivered frozen, fully cleaned, and ready for cooking. The product is packed in food-service containers weighing from 0.5 to 2 kg (depending on size and format), with no glaze or minimal protective glaze (up to 5%). Storage — at a temperature of -18°C.
