The white ragworm is a pearly white in colour and has a protruding tongue with small pincers.

This worm can only be gathered on the lowest of spring tides from a few selected areas around the coast. Places to try include Grande Harve and Cobo.

White ragworm should be stored in a bucket with a few inches of fresh seawater in the bottom. The water should be checked and changed regularly as the worms movement will warm the water and diminish oxygen supplies.
