Didn't use to be a fan of these shellfish, but after trying this recipe I'm converted. It's for Red Hot Cockles, and they are red hot! You can always omit the chilli if you make this recipe, then it could just be called Red Cockles!

Gareth was at the opening of Reading's Christmas celebrations last week, feeding the penguins!
