Wow, I learned something today. I’ve never heard of a geoduck before. It’s actually the mascot for Evergreen State College in Washington.

OMG, they don't win much, huh?

I think they're too busy watching their mascot to perform very well!

Geoduck is one of my favorite food. Good stuff. I eat it raw on sushi. Well, ok, it's not the prettiest to look at but it's not too bad. Honestly.

So when you slice it, doesn't that look better?

That looks like something that would be on The Pit!!!
(The Mascot Kinda goes with the picture of the guy with the bow and arrow, huh VB?)

Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" show had a segment on digging, preparing, & cooking Geoduck on the "Pacific Northwest" episode. Interesting stuff. And the clam, once cooked, looked delicious - like chunks of giant soft-shell/steamer, which is pretty much what a Geoduck is.

Geoducks! Stand up and defend thyself!!!

I could never get away with serving that here - not with 5 sons! We'd all have milk coming out of our noses.

Do what I do.... call it chicken.

I think I'd have to stick a lot of feathers in that monster to pull that off.

Geoduck is really good. IMO it's better served raw, or "cooked" like a ceviche.

I first saw the Frugal Gourmet preparing these things on TV. I didn't know that's how you spelled "gooey duck".

Hey, I love fried calamari and cracked conch, so I would definitely try a "gooey duck" dish!

Iv'e cooked a lot of strange things but would never touch something that ugly or put any portion of it in my mouth

 

[expatgirl]

Are these guys expensive?

 

[buckytom]

it's just a giant piss clam, or ipswich clam, what's the big deal? (unless you're a mascot).

i'd like mine shabu shabu with clam broth, and a little ghee, please.
