Geoducks are very tasty clams. Just like the little clams, but a lot more meat to them. I have not gone digging for them myself, but I have some friends that do, including one that has mastered the method of digging them. Here's a pic of some of them from earlier this year:

While I have never had one but have seen them on TV many times, I will try anything at least once. You never know they just might taste like chicken ( LOL) or taste good

Yes, I knew that, but it was the first pic I found on the fishing site. That day, they only got the horsenecks. 4th of July they got both. Horsenecks are longer, but the Geoducks have more girth.

LMAO!
The first time I ever saw or heard of them was when I was 13 or so. A childhood friend introduced me to them. Couldn't beleive how big they were. What a conversation starter

I saw a "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" that was a chowder throwdown. The guy on the show made a chowder with those, and some other clams in it. If I recall he really swore by them.

I wonder if these things are behind the "happy as a clam" saying?
