What is another word for cockles?
Pronunciation: [kˈɒkə͡lz] (IPA) 
Cockles, the small bivalve mollusks found in sand and mud flats, have quite a few synonyms. Some of these synonyms include clams, mussels, oysters, scallops, and snails. However, while these terms are all used to refer to various types of shellfish, they each have unique characteristics. Clams tend to be larger and have a more robust flavor, while mussels have a more delicate taste and are often served in sauces. Oysters are known for their briny, savory flavor, and scallops are prized for their tender, sweet meat. Snails, while not technically shellfish, are also eaten as a delicacy in many cultures.
