Whatever your day's like, appetize it with this spicy, herby, briny and juicy cockle salad (you heard right), from one of Fatty Crab's and Fatty Cue's Zak Pelaccio. It tastes like the ocean with an attitude, certainly one of my favourite, and most interesting and delicious treatment of shellfish yet. And I promise it will kick-open your palette, get you ready for whatever that's on your plate. Wish you a day as happy as a clam. [/ezcol_1third_end] [ezcol_2third][/ezcol_2third] [ezcol_1third_end] Serves: 4 as appetizer Adapted from Zak Pelaccio's Eat With Your Hands I like to use an assortment of cockles and clams for this dish. In this case, tiny cockles for their meats plus larger/prettier clams for their shells. You can choose whatever variety you like. The original recipe does not include the kaffir lime leaf, but I added it because I think it gave the dish a sharper edge. Use if you have it available (they freeze really well in the freezer).
