Read our geoduck guide to compare taste, texture and preparation.

Preparation & serving

Keep cold while preparing. Remove the shell, viscera and outer siphon skin as described in our geoduck preparation guide. Cut evenly and choose a method suited to each part.

Try geoduck with ginger, garlic and vegetables. Cook seafood thoroughly; a brief skin-loosening blanch is not a full cooking step. Raw or undercooked shellfish carries additional risk.

Storage & handling

Refrigerate promptly at 40°F or below in a breathable container with drainage. Keep out of fresh water and standing meltwater. Follow the product handling instructions and prepare promptly. Keep raw shellfish and its utensils separate from ready-to-eat foods.

What is Geoduck?

Seeing a geoduck live is one thing, but the flavor profile is out of this world. Many people eat live geoducks for their aphrodisiac properties, but an equal number simply enjoy the geoduck's taste. Live geoduck meat has a very clear and sweet flavor. Depending on where your geoducks originate from, there may or may not be a very slight salty aftertaste.
