A cockle is a small, edible, saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc. Although many small edible bivalves are loosely called cockles, true cockles are species in the family Cardiidae.True cockles live in sandy, sheltered beaches throughout the world.The distinctive rounded shells are bilaterally symmetrical, and are heart-shaped when viewed from the end.ockles are capable of jumping by bending and straightening the foot. As is the case in many bivalves, cockles display gonochorism (the sex of an individual varies according to conditions), and some species reach maturity rapidly.
