What is the caliber in canned cockles?

On cans of cockles, you'll see markings like 20/30, 25/35, or 35/45 pieces . This number indicates the approximate quantity of cockles per can : the fewer the number, the larger the cockles. This allows you to choose between larger, more visually appealing sizes for appetizers or smaller ones for recipes.

Cockles in their natural state: clean and versatile flavor

The cockles in this collection are presented naturally , that is, in their own juices and light brine. This allows you to enjoy the full flavor of the sea and use the liquid from the can to flavor rice dishes, pasta, soups, or seafood sauces .

How to serve canned cockles

The simplest way is to chill the can, open it, and serve the drained cockles with a little of their juice and a few drops of lemon . You can also place them on boiled potatoes, toast, salads, or in appetizer spoons, combined with vegetables or mild dressings.

Recipes with canned cockles

Cockles in brine are perfect for preparing seafood rice dishes, fideuà, fish soups, empanadas, pasta, or warm potato salads . The brine from the can adds a very interesting salty flavor to broths and sauces.

Pairing: what to serve with cockles

They are an ideal appetizer to enjoy with young white wines, sparkling wines, vermouth, beer, or a good Albariño . The acidity and freshness of these wines pair perfectly with the salinity of the cockles.
