A 1kg bag of wild-caught Essex cockles — the finest and best cockles you’ll ever taste. Cooked and frozen at peak season, then individually quick-frozen so you can pull out a handful for the lunchbox or a couple of pints for a Sunday afternoon. 800 to 1000 cockles per kilo. A genuine British seaside heritage food, traditionally sold by the pint outside London pubs since Victorian times.
