For many years I have been collecting my own cockles at Goolwa and freezing them without any problems. Some of last years cockles however when thawed were in poor condition with some having turned yellow and as hard as leather.What went wrong ?.. feedback on how you store cockles would be appreciated.Thinking of salting them this year. Feedback from anyone who salts cockles prior to freezing for storing would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance for responses.
