Cockles

Cockles are much-loved marine bivalves offering an authentic taste of the sea. From the family of Cardiidae, these heart-shaped delights can be easily identified due to their intricate textured patterns. Delectably sweet, slightly salty, and beautifully tender, they are a genuine treat for any seafood aficionado. Enjoy them simply steamed in their own juice or brought to life with garlic, wine, and a sprinkling of herbs. Often playing a starring role in pasta dishes, paellas, or chowders, cockles provide a versatile ingredient for recipes which add a unique twist or elevate a familiar dish with its unmistakable seafood flavor.
