We have certainly all heard about the mussel, the Pipi, the Cockle and the Tuatua - but what of the Dosinia? It is very common on most surf beaches - however - unlike the tuatua where you wade around the surf line - the Dosinia is found on exposed sand bars at low tide.

The Dosinia - has a delicate and delicious orange meat that is sweeter than that of the Tuatua.
The cooking method - is much the same - boil - shell etc...
It is rather nice to eat them just like that - with a little vinegar - straight from the shell.
However for some real luxury:
Put ingredients in blender - heat and serve.
The Dosinia is really delicious - but not often mentioned (mostly I think people mistakenly call them cockles).

However for some real luxury:
- 500 grams Dosinia
- 4 Cups Fish Stock
- 1/2 pot of cream
- 2 Sprigs of Parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- Sprinkle of white pepper
Put ingredients in blender - heat and serve.
