: by Bok Ryou Han Note: * Since cockles are perishable, use live
ones. Live ones move when you open shells. Use knife to open shells. * In
order to remove dirt and sand from cockles, place them in weak salted water
and leave them in dark place for 3 hours. *Be careful not to overcook
cockles since they shrink easily.
