Clam, Geoduck

Common Name:

Pacific geoduck, elephant trunk clam, king clam

Product Information:

The geoduck siphon is covered with a tough skin ranging in color from light beige to brown. The flesh of a cleaned siphon is smooth and cream colored. The geoduck siphon meat has a sweet, fresh sea flavor and crunchy texture.

Cooking Tips:

To prepare for use, cut the siphon from the body meat and split it in half lengthwise. Cut each piece into paper-thin slices. Serve raw as sashimi or cook quickly in a stir fry or hot pot. Cooking toughens the meat rapidly. A quick blanching in boiling water or sauce gives best results. Dried body meat is sometimes used as an ingredient in Chinese soups.
