Cockles

£3.00

A seaside favourite.

✔ Ready To Eat

Our Smoked Cockles are a proper taste of the British seaside — plump, juicy, and lightly smoked for a gentle oak flavour that enhances their natural sweetness. Prepared in small batches at our Aldeburgh smokehouse, these are a local favourite that always brings a touch of nostalgia.

We start with the freshest cockles, carefully cleaned and hand-smoked over real oak to achieve the perfect balance between briny freshness and subtle smokiness. The result is tender cockles with a beautifully rounded flavour — a simple treat that’s delicious straight from the pot or as part of a seafood platter.

Smoked Cockles have been enjoyed along Suffolk’s shores for generations, and ours carry on that coastal tradition with care, patience, and pride. Simple, satisfying, and unmistakably Aldeburgh.
