cockle

Any of various bivalves of the genus Cardi-um with a heart-shaped, radially ribbed "cockleshell. " They have a tendency to be quite gritty and must be washed thoroughly to rid them of sand. Cockles, which have always been more popular in Europe than the United States, can be eaten raw or cooked, as with clams or oysters.
