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.



Quote:
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.

Were the pieces still crunchy in the chowder, or cut up too small to tell?

Not helping.

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