    Default Gooey Ducks ?

    watching an episode of Dirty Jobs and the subject is Gooey Ducks
    first time i've heard about these, just some kind of big clam

    but to me, it's another possible source of food

    anyone have any experience with Gooey Ducks ?

    Yep. Geoducks make great chowder. We used to go to a place in Brinnon, Washington called the Geoduck Tavern.

    Not sure how or if they are raised. We'd throw our wet suits on, harvest a few from the Hood Canal, come out of the water and beat the geo out of them with a meat tenderizer.

    They are good eating. Unless you are in an area where there are a lot of them, they can be quite a bit of work to gather.
