Common Cockle
Cerastoderma edule · Mollusc
.jpg){kind=link}
A ribbed bivalve 3.5 to 5 cm long, buried a few centimetres down in the sand and mud of tidal flats and estuaries, from Iceland and Norway to Senegal. It is raked by hand or dredged and eaten cooked, sometimes pickled or raw, from Britain to Spain and Japan. France takes about 10,000 tonnes a year, and the Bay of the Somme is its first producing area.
