The Brits have what are called "whelk stalls." I did a search and got
this:

: What is a "whelk stall"?

A stall in this sense is a small booth or stand from which one does
trade (as in market stall). A whelk stall is therefore one that sells
whelks, a whelk being some unfortunate marine mollusc that's used as a
foodstuff in Europe. They're a traditional feature in the UK, and
whelk
stalls can be found here to this day in the UK, mainly in seaside
towns. I have no idea how the whelks they sell are prepared for
eating,
but having tried one once, I can confirm that they taste like gritty
bits of soft rubber pickled in strong vinegar. A whelk stall is also
liable to offer cockles and mussels for sale, and maybe prawns and
jellied eels as well.
