Cockles are small, edible saltwater clams found in sandy coastal waters. They have a sweet, delicate flavour. Popular in British seafood cuisine, they are often served steamed, boiled, or pickled.

How to Cook Cockles

1. Cleaning:

Rinse them in cold water and discard any that are cracked or don’t close when tapped.

Soak in salted water for an hour to remove sand.

2. Steaming (Simple Method)

Heat a large pan with a little water, white wine, or stock.

Add cockles, cover, and steam for about 3-5 minutes until they open.

Discard any that remain closed.

3. Pan-frying (Garlic & Butter)

Melt butter in a pan, add garlic and chili, then toss in the cockles.

Cook for a few minutes until they open, stirring occasionally.

4. Serving Suggestions

With crusty bread and broth.

Tossed in pasta with olive oil, lemon, and parsley.

As a traditional British snack with vinegar and white pepper

Red Gurnard just arrived with our fish from Peterhead Market this morning. Don't know about this beautiful specimen? Read on.....

It is a delicious, firm-fleshed fish known for its sweet, delicate flavor. It’s often overlooked, making it a sustainable choice. Native to Scottish waters, it’s versatile and works well in various dishes. Here's a guide to cooking and learning about it:

About Red Gurnard

Appearance: A striking fish with reddish-pink scales, a flat head, and "wing-like" pectoral fins.

Texture & Flavor: Firm, lean white flesh with a mild, sweet taste similar to sea bass.

Sustainability: It's abundant in UK waters and a bycatch species, making it an eco-friendly seafood choice.

Best Ways to Cook Red Gurnard

1. Pan-Frying (Quick and Flavorful)

How: Fillet the fish, season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Fry skin-side down in hot oil for 2-3 minutes, then flip for 1 minute.

Best for: Crisp skin and succulent flesh.

Pair With: Mediterranean flavors like cherry tomatoes, olives, and fresh herbs.

2. Roasting (Rich and Moist)

How: Leave the fish whole, stuff the cavity with herbs (e.g., parsley, thyme) and lemon slices. Drizzle with olive oil and bake at 200°C (390°F) for 15-20 minutes.

Best for: Infusing flavor throughout the fish.

Pair With: Root vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes.

3. Poaching (Delicate and Light)

How: Simmer in a broth of white wine, fish stock, and aromatics (onion, fennel, bay leaf) for 6-8 minutes.

Best for: A moist, tender result with subtle flavors.

Pair With: Crusty bread and the poaching broth.

4. In a Fish Stew or Soup

How: Add chunks of Gurnard to a bouillabaisse, cioppino, or chowder during the last 5-8 minutes of cooking.

Best for: Absorbing the fish's sweetness into the dish.

Pair With: Rich, tomato-based or creamy broths.

Pro Tips

Filleting: Gurnard’s bones can be tricky;  but we will do it for you and you can use the bones for stock.

Marinade: A simple lemon, olive oil, and garlic marinade enhances its natural sweetness.

Don’t Overcook: Its lean flesh can dry out quickly—cook until just opaque.
