Whole

Whole cockles are live animals in shell, sold by volume from coastal markets. Choose shells that close when tapped, feel heavy, and smell only of clean seawater. Purge in salted water, then steam or pan-cook with aromatics until open. Discard any that stay shut. Serve at once with bread for the liquor; holding too long dries the meat. This is the form for seaside snacks and one-pot dishes before picking meat.
