The two types of horse neck clams their common names are pacific and fat gaper clam. Pacific is narrower and the fat gaper is round like a football. Before you dig the pacific gaper clam has a hard shell around the tip of the siphon. The pacific gaper makes for better sashimi because their siphon is firmer, the fat gaper is better for chowder or congee.

I live in the pnw as well and have recently discovered a new clam I cannot recognize. Would like to connect with you to see if you do

The round horse clam with a short neck, we called it (KOPIL) in my country.

Tolmie Beach behind cabelas has the bent nose clams. Taste fine, but they hold a lot of sand and need to purge. I'll take the manilla it's sitting next to personally

Where do you find cockles at ?

Weather in the puget sound or any harbor that has a tidal flow not directly on the ocean beaches. You should find them. They are a very common clam. If you can dig a razor clam on the beach. There probably wont be any cockles there.
