The coast of the United Kingdom is a perfect haven for cockles. The cockle is economically important in many parts of the United Kingdom, including the Wash, the Drain, the Thames Estuary, Morecambe Bay, the Dee Estuary, and South Wales. Cook them in boiling water for just 5 minutes, then add some melted butter or your preferred sauce. It’s so quick and easy! Cockles are tiny bivalve shellfish, with tender, sweet meat without the excessive brininess.
Even though seafood is not your thing, you won’t hate these sweet tiny molluscs! These fresh-frozen cockles are tasty and an excellent introduction to seafood. Most are around as big as a quarter coin and create a tasteful, pea-sized morsel that gives rice and pasta dishes a delicate taste. Indeed, cockles are a delicious and nutritious classic part of the experience of the British seaside.
With less than an hour from harvesting, Frozen Fish Direct’s cockles are blanched and individually quick-frozen. Clams are screened and thoroughly checked until they are at our processing plant. Before freezing, our frozen cockles are shelled and washed, precooked or ready to eat. Cockle meats can be frozen easily and kept cold after cooking. Cockles may be eaten individually, or to add flavour to other dishes, or as a garnish to other seafood. For a delicious twist, add cockles to seafood soups, pasta dishes, risottos, pies and paella.
Cockles are a food that’s low in calories. Compared to 180kcal in 100g of salmon, 100g of cockles produces just 53kcal. Because of the reduced number of calories, cockles have become an ally of healthy diets. The ingestion of cockles provides the body with high-quality protein and essential minerals for proper energy metabolism. Cockles are high in magnesium, which is good for the thyroid. They also produce zinc, which helps define bones and muscles. Cockles are also iron-rich, avoiding anaemia. The body will also be supplied with the essential Omega-3 fatty acids by eating cockles. The human body does not produce vitamin B12, and it must be derived from animal products in the diet. Cockles contain a greater amount of vitamin B12 than cattle.
