Cockles Printed From: The Fishing Website Category: Saltwater Fishing Forum Name: The Kitchen - Seafood Recipes Forum Description: Share your favourite seafood recipes here URL: https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137363 Printed Date: 28 Mar 2023 at 3:37am Topic: Cockles Posted By: MB Subject: Cockles Date Posted: 23 Dec 2022 at 3:43pm In the absence of festive scallops, my son and I harvested some cockles. I'm leaving them in 6L saltwater overnight to get rid of the sand, but wondered whether it was best to leave the bucket in the fridge at air temperature as it's pretty warm at the moment? That said, the water where they were collected was very warm.  Replies: Posted By: Kandrew Date Posted: 23 Dec 2022 at 6:30pm I leave mine in the shade with a wet sack over the top, let them spit some sand out. Quick stream then into a light beer batter, cockle fritters yum. Posted By: MB Date Posted: 23 Dec 2022 at 7:39pm Cheers. 24 hours?

Have done it many times  ------------- Best gurnard fisherman in my street
