    I've never seen them in Cork. Unlike Limerick where they'd be selling them and dillisk outside Roche's Stores it doesn't seem to be a Cork thing.

    haven't seen them to buy in a long time. But we pick them down on Garryvoe beach.. I don't eat them now but dad did and he said they were loverly. If you go down the opposite side of the beach to where the hotel is there is lots of little ponds down there

    Clams and cockles can be had alright, but they are not in season now.
