Parsons Welsh Pickled Cockles (155g)

I have an unusual palate compared to my US friends. But ... I love pickles. And I love shellfish. This was a tasty treat. I ordered it thinking it would be a joke on my wife. She didn't like them as much but was surprised she didn't hate them. I ended up eating the whole thing.The texture is a bit like clams. The taste is unique. I think in a good way :)

Bottle (1) was broken upon receipt. Had to throw it out.

Jar was broken and leaking rotting fish fluid over other items In box. Glass jar had thinnest wrap. Sat on truck and then on poach in hot sun. I work with horses and other livestock and the stench was as bad as a necropsy on a dead carcass sitting for days in the 100 degree heat.

Good quality,sprinkle of malt vinegar and some black pepper,just like being at the seaside,almost !

I had never had cockles before. I saw someone on a YouTube video talking about the pickled cockles they would eat and my interest was piqued. I love oysters, mussels, sardines, etc. Well, really any seafood or shellfish.At any rate, I just had to order some to try. I'm so glad I did. These are amazing and I can't believe I waited so long to try them! They came wrapped in bubble wrap, and sealed tightly (the lid has a pop-up 'sealed' indicator).I'll definitely be ordering more of these as they seem like something that I will crave from now on. If you like seafood with a briny, vinegary taste, then you should definitely try these.

I think the cockles were mushy.

I’d never heard of this, but I must say they taste fantastic.

It seems fine, but I'm not entirely comfortable eating something that was delivered with the top seal popped, so I'm afraid I'll have to toss it out.
