Cockles are a type of shellfish that can be found in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. They are a type of bivalve, meaning they have a hard outer shell and an inner fleshy layer. The cockles are used to make a type of seafood sauce called “cockleshells.” To clean cockles, you will need: -A pot or pan with at least 8 inches of water -A spoon or fork -A bucket or other container large enough to hold all the cockles you plan to clean -A cleaning cloth or sponge
