Did you know?

Geoduck (pronounced “gooey-duck”) is the largest burrowing clam in the world and can live over 100 years.
Native to the Pacific Northwest, it’s considered a delicacy in Asia, especially in Chinese and Japanese cuisine.
Its name comes from the Nisqually word gʷídəq, meaning “dig deep.”
Geoduck can extend its neck (siphon) up to 1 meter (3 feet) long!
Due to its rarity and size, geoduck is sometimes called the “king of clams.”

Drawback

Expensive and hard to source due to its delicacy status.
Raw geoduck may pose a risk of foodborne illness if not handled properly.
The texture may be off-putting to some—it’s chewier than other clams.
Always check for the MSC label.
