Geoduck

Beschrijving

Geoduck clams are bivalves, and have two shells that are white and somewhat rectangular in shape. Their equal-sized valves do not conceal their enormous siphon (neck), which is white to reddish-brown in colour. Geoduck clams are the largest burrowing clams in the world, with a shell length that can exceed 20 centimetres. They generally weigh between 0.5 and 1.5 kilograms, but, occasionally, grow as large as 3 kilograms. Geoducks are long-lived, with maximum ages of at least 168 years.

Geoduck (pronounced “gooey duck”) are native to the coastal waters of the northwest U.S. It’s a large, meaty clam with a subtle sweet flavor and a wonderful savory crunchy texture. Both the belly meat and siphon can be used in a variety of dishes. This geoduck is sustainably farmed by our friends at Neptune Seafood, a family-run shellfish farm based in Olympia, Washington. We’re proud to work with shellfish farmers who share our passion for sustainably grown seafood.
