Fresh tarragon is essential here: dried tarragon will not give the same aromatic finesse.
Combine the surf clams, whelks, bell peppers, onion and tarragon.
Refrigerate for 3 hours.
Add the lemon juice and the oil.
Season to taste.
Serve on a lettuce leaf.
Garnish with lemon slices and surf clam feet.

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.
Inspired by escargots à la bourguignonne, these whelks gratineed in garlic butter under melting mozzarella make an irresistible starter that puts this Côte-Nord shellfish front and centre.
Thinly sliced whelks sautéed with crushed fresh tomatoes, zucchini, basil and white wine, served over herbed fettuccine. A seafood dish that pairs the generosity of the sea with the freshness of the garden.
