We present a genome assembly from an individual specimen of Fragum fragum (a heart cockle; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Veneroida; Cardiidae). The genome sequence is 1,153.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 22.36 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,262 protein coding genes.
