Sa Wad Dee Ka 🙏 Hive community ^^

Today I went to the beach for walking my dog and also visit the seafood market as usual and surprising to get the huge Cockles from local freshly caught and normally the huge size Cockles are rare to find in the markets. 😀

Cockles are sometimes called blood clams because the liquid that seem as raw blood which there are contained high level in iron and perfect diet for people with anemia. The cockles can taste really good when prepared with local spices and herbs.
 

 

🇹🇭 So today I would like to share with you how to make one of my favorite cockles dish, "Drunken Cockles With Spicy Fermented Fish Sauce". The cockles lives on muddy and sandy seashore so the most difficult part of this recipe for me was washing and try to half shell the cockles. 😄
 

 
I like the old way of quick blanched and mixing them with various type of chili, lime, fermented fish sauce and veggies by using clay mortar which I also preferred serving these cockles on a half shell and blanched them for 20 seconds will leaves the slightly blood and it's the best way to get the flavorful taste of the cockles.
