cockle meat

ABOUT -
Cockles are a range of shellfish species which are found all around the coastline of the British Isles. While they are not the most commonly used shellfish bait (mussels are much more popular to use), they are effective in the right conditions and can be excellent as part of a cocktail bait.

TEXTURE -
Cockles have a grittiness in the core which gives the smooth flesh more of a bite. The flavour of Cockles is floral-like and sweet yet very mild meaning they require strong flavoured ingredients to give character to the dish.
