These typically small clams can be distinguished from other clams because of their rounder and symmetrical shells that have obvious ridge. They also look heart shaped when viewed from the end. They primarily come from saltwater habitats and can be found from the California to the Bering Sea. There are more than 200 species of cockles in the family of Cardiidae. They’re flavor is not atypical from other clams. Cockles are popular in the United Kingdom where they’re sold freshly cooked (boiled) and seasoned white pepper and malt vinegar. Also, look for cockles in Asian cuisine.
