Thread: Tasman shellfish?

Further to another thread re shifting to Marlborough in a week or so, wife and I will be caravanning round Marlborough, Nelson and Tasman until we take possession of our house in Blenheim. A few years ago, we harvested a feed of cockles at Marahau. Have the beds recovered since that disastrous erosion that smashed the area?
Are there other localities in top of the south where I could grab a feed? I won’t have my boat, so looking for general locations for some kai Moana. PM’s welcome. Messages to p*ss off and do your own finding generally tolerated.
Cheers,
Warwick
