Jan 21st, 2020 : Pacific Geoduck
The Pacific Geoduck (pronounced Gooey Duck or Goo-ee-duck) is a very large saltwater clam, found in the US northwest and Canada.
It’s edible, has few predators, and brings $15 a pound in China, $3 a pound more if it’s alive.
| The shell of the clam ranges from 15 cm (6 inches) to over 20 cm (8 inches) in length, but the extremely long siphons make the clam itself much longer than this: the "neck" or siphons alone can be 1 m (3.3 feet) in length. The geoduck is the largest burrowing clam in the world. It is also one of the longest-living animals of any type, with a typical lifespan of 140 years; the oldest has been recorded at 168. |
Farming them is a slow tedious process.
Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington has a geoduck named "Speedy" as mascot. Some call it the Pickle Taco.

They taste good best clam chowder I ever had. Back in the day when I could still eat fish.

Were the pieces still crunchy in the chowder, or cut up too small to tell?
fargon Wednesday Jan 22 09:41 AM
They were cut up pretty small a coarse mince and they were not crunchy.
Gravdigr Wednesday Jan 22 01:55 PM

What's worse is that I think those things have the nickname of gooeyduck...
Not helping.

Not really a nickname, that's an English pronunciation of Geoduck.
