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.
