Whelk Salad
A fresh, colourful salad of Côte-Nord whelks, marinated in a white wine court-bouillon and tossed in a bell pepper, jalapeño and lime dressing. A St. Lawrence classic as striking on the plate as it is on the palate.
Authentic recipes for cooking our products at home.
For more than 40 years, Pêcherie Manicouagan has been harvesting and processing whelks, Stimpson surf clams, halibut, turbot and crab. Our recipes put that freshness first, with techniques simple enough for a weeknight and good enough for an occasion.

Whelks and Stimpson surf clams are delicate. Never overcook them, or you lose the tenderness that makes them worth eating; one minute too long is enough to tell.
Our canned products are prepared right at the Portneuf-sur-Mer plant, Les Crabiers du Nord Inc. They keep all the flavour and freshness of seafood landed the same day.
No whelks on hand? Stimpson surf clams stand in for them in most of our recipes. The 142 g (5 oz) can refers to the drained weight.
Our canned whelks and Stimpson surf clams are available directly at our fish market, 152 Saint-Marcellin Street West, Les Escoumins. You can also call 1-418-233-3122 to check availability.
