I just purchased fresh cockles for the first time. It's kind of freaking me out that they're alive and I must properly take care of them or else they've make people really sick tomorrow.
The problem? I don't know how to take care of them. I just came home and put them in a bit of ice water. Was that a good- or bad- move? Some of them didn't close when I took them out of their package, which I'm prett sure is a bad sign- so I threw them out. Will those affect the others? Also, how should I store them over night? I know I have to scrub them, they were quite dirty, but should I do anything else to clean them tomorrow?
