Clams that are eaten, from Long Island to Florida, are scientifically classified as "Mercenaria Mercenaria" or are called by their popular names; Quohog: Little Neck, etc.. In contrast, cockles are a distinctly different shellfish which not eaten but are used for bait in fishing. What you display is a cockle. Cockles are not clams. I dig clams, I know the difference. Florida east coast.
"There is no difference between a cockle and a clam; a cockle is actually a soft-shelled clam. The name cockle is a marketable name given to this sweet tasting mollusk, worldwide there are 200 species of cockles."
apparently... i dunno... my aunt just found this one when we were swimming in the gulf.... we really hasd no idea if it was the kind they eat... seemed alot bigger...
