Vocab: Cockle

Or blood cockle. My favorite clam. Used to be exported to U.S. but I believe is now banned, at least for the imports in NYC. Reason of ban is due to Hepatitis C.

Scientific term: Anadara granosa

It is said to be found in Cape Code and the East Coast, so I guess I'll go look for them some times.
