Made a detour on the way home from kids sport today to have a scratch in the mud/sand.
Didn't take too long to get a feed (was kicking myself that i hadn't thrown in the drag net and wet suits this morning tho)
There are a few different stories i have heard about how to make them spit out the sand. However there is basically no sand inside a cockle. All the grit comes off the outside of the shell when you steam them open. So the cleaner you can get the outside of the shell the better.
Best method i have found is to agitate them vigorously in a sink with water. When the water dirties empty it. Repeat the process until the shells are clean. Very tasty
@JessicaChen this is what your looking for in that stinky papatowai mud, next time your down those ways
