3. Meanwhile, put the laver bread into a pan with a knob of butter and gently toast.
4. Put the cockles into a large saucepan with a little water and the salt, cover and cook on a high heat, shaking the pan every so often, until the cockles open. Discard any that do not open, then drain.
5. Spoon the laver bread on to 4 serving plates, place a bacon chop on each and scatter over the cockles.
