Collecting Cockle

Cockles at estuary, near stream


Cockle is known as kerang in malay language and niao ha in mandarin. For those who never tried this before, the best time to search for cockles is during low tide near rocky beach and estuary (muara).  You need to be alert in order to find clamp hiding in watery sand. These guy are first timer and we found a lot during our search. To differentiate living clamp, they are vertically positioned where the cockle mouth facing upward as picture shown below

You can hide but not from me

Cockles then are cooked using salt and onions only because that the only ingredient we had, the result edible and less tasty than home cook. Hungry stomach would not care much about taste, everything is delicious when you are hungry and tired. If you are wondering what is beside pan that is oyster been cooked. Well i get into it later on my next story
