Fishermen dont make very much off cockles =) Their weight + size
to selling price ratio is really really bad, say as compared to
muscles etc. I think in an television interview I once watched, one
was quoted as saying "We continue to bring in cockles as a service
to the people who cannot do without them in their food",
On a brighter note, from a medical standpoint, not bringing in
cockles is actually a good thing =) Cockles have a high risk of
spreading Hepatits A, so all you cockles lovers out there, go get
your hepatitis A vaccination done and eat raw seafood in peace!
