I was in Waitrose yesterday buying a cake when i glanced over to the fish counter, ordered a small pot of cockles and mussels as i liked them as a child. When i got home and added vinegar i loved the cockles & wasn`t so partial to the muscles. What are the views from not606 on seafood related snacks?
Cockles and Mussels are bottom feeders - so called because they feed at the bottom of the ocean on stuff that comes out of other creatures bottoms. No thanks. I`ll pass.
Prawns to some extent, not lobster .. mussels are just natures hoover for **** though, its not right to eat them
Fresh mussels are fantastic. Never had cockles, I think that's a Nigel thing. Oysters, anyone? Yum yum yummity yum.
