Our frozen cockles are cooked, not raw – simply defrost and they are ready to enjoy. Whether you eat them cold as a traditional seaside snack or warm them through in your favourite dish, there is no need to worry about cooking from raw.
Cockles are also delicious steamed with seasoning, served hot, cold or fried. They make a popular addition to salads, soups and stews. Fresh cockles are frequently dipped in batter before being deep-fried.
In the United Kingdom, cockles are sold as a snack in a variety of ways. They are usually served with additional seasonings such as malt vinegar and white pepper. While canned cockles are becoming more common around the country, many can still be found fresh at local fish stalls, shops or restaurants, or in local markets on weekends. In the North East of England, large barrels of cockles are sold in the summer and autumn. They are a type of shellfish classed as an “edible part fish” and are found on the British menu as an alternative to shrimp or scallops.
What Do Cockles Taste Like?
Cockles have a sweet taste. They are not as salty as bigger clams and, hence, are preferred by some people with salt-sensitive diets.
Responsibly-Sourced Cockles
The cockle industry is sustainable as all of the cockles are caught in the summer months with low tides. The cockles are also graded before collection, so their potency is reduced. The shells can be reused for bait or fertilizer.
