Cockles. Yum! Love the name. Wonder if he is joyful.

I hate cockles, whelks and jellied eels. In the 1940s I was often sent out with my bucket to the local beach in St.Andrews Scotland, to collect whelks. A joyful experience, until I got home and my Mum cooked them and then pulled the revolting mass of salty rubber out with a bent pin. I managed to eat about two in my whole life - disgusting!
This little stall often has a long queue of willing buyers though, so the owner is mostly very joyful. ;-)

I'm with Amelia on this one, Love fish but the not rubbery stuff,
Nice catch Rosa :-)

I'm Amelia, Roger, but I remain in total agreement with you, although I like prawns and the white meat of crabs.

yes, the idea of seafood is often preferable to the reality! I love prawns and crab, I can just about manage scallops, mussels and squid, but cockles, whelks, oysters and octopus can stay in the sea as far as I'm concerned!

I spot a tiny fence, so - HFF!

I'll have the first fresh crab of the season;-) I'm with you as regards whelks and the like, I'm allergic to the stuff...
Calamari if done well are very good and not rubbery at all. The problem is, you never know beforehand.

Some I can eat, others not.For example oysters.I tried twice and it's not possible, really :-((

I like those little shops or snack bars. Had the firts mussels in my life in Southend-on-Sea in 1960! Very fine taste - also with some vinegar.

A charming little shop - it's good to see these small businesses still going! Lovely image Amelia.

good shot!
had to look up cockles and whelks - I think, closer acquaintance is not necessary.... ;-)

A wonderful name! very Wesleyan!
Terrific shot!

Best left for the cat :~) Stick to fish :~)

I do love cockles.. but then I pass the rubber over(do like Calamari) and go straight to mprawns and lobster and crab !

Love the photo

I love these little corner open fronted shops/stalls, that we see so often in small coastal towns. I'm not keen on this one's particular produce either Amelia!! I do however like this picture very much :))

This looks great. I'd also pass on whelks, cockles and jellied eels, but some of the other options would go down very nicely. :-)
