dog cockle
The dog cockle or European bittersweet, ''Glycymeris glycymeris'', is a species of marine clam, a coastal bivalve mollusc of European waters.
Despite its common name, it is not closely related to the common cockle.
While the English common name "dog cockle" implies an inferior food that might only be suitable for animals, this shellfish is edible and enjoyed in many European countries,〔Wendy Sweetser, ''The Connoisseur's Guide to Fish & Seafood'' (Sterling, 2009), p. 137.〕 although the flesh has a reputation for becoming tough if overcooked. Its name in French (''amande de mer'') and Spanish (''almendra de mar'') means "sea almond", due to its apparently sweet and almond-like flavour.〔"Amande de mer: smooth-shelled shellfish, like a small clam, with a sweet, almost almond flavor." (Patricia Wells' French/English Food Glossary )〕
==Habitat==
The dog cockle is a burrowing animal, living in shelly gravel on the ocean floor at depths up to 100 m (330 ft).
