The cockle (Venerupis rhomboides), colloquially known as the red clam, is characterized by its delicate flavor and versatility in cooking. This seafood is particularly recommended for marinara preparations as well as for being enjoyed garlic-style or simply steamed, enhancing its natural taste. It pairs magnificently with a variety of fish. Its catch occurs in the waters of Spain, specifically in the FAO 27 region, and is offered in mesh, which facilitates handling and storage. In terms of nutritional composition, each 100 g of cockle contains 197 KJ of energy and 41 Kcal, being a protein-rich option with 10.7 g and low in fats. It is important to note that it contains mollusks and may contain traces of fish, so caution is needed regarding allergies. Without a doubt, the cockle is a sea delicacy that should not be missing from your table.
