*Geoduck Overview:*
The geoduck (pronounced "gooey-duck") is a species of large clam native to the coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest of North America. It's known for its long, thick neck or siphon, which can extend up to 3 feet (1 meter) in length.
- *Taste:* Geoduck has a sweet, mild, and slightly sea like flavor. Its taste is often compared to a mix of clams and other sweet shellfish, with a unique sweetness that sets it apart.
- *Texture:* When properly prepared, geoduck has a firm, crunchy texture, especially the siphon, making it a popular choice for raw dishes like sushi and sashimi. The body meat is tender and has a more delicate texture.
- *Ecological Role:* Geoducks play a role in the marine ecosystem by filtering water, a process that helps maintain water clarity and quality. They filter all that dirty water through the part I just ate 😂💁🏽♀️… yum
Due to its unique taste, texture, and appearance, geoduck is considered a delicacy and is enjoyed by seafood enthusiasts around the world.
Extra: Blanching is a quick boiling water dip that helps geoduck's shell and skin to peel off easily. It makes the geoduck tender and ready for various culinary uses. It’s only in the hot water for 5 seconds and then the cold for 5 min
