I live a stone's throw from the Hood Canal and have most my life. And I don't eat these and don't know anyone who does (but I know they are consumed! Unlike razor clamming this involves heavy-duty shovelwork.
I have seen a tank of these ( live big 'uns) at an Asian Dim Sum Restaurant. They are of course considered a "delicacy". I do not think they fight like clawed crustaceans so they don't have to keep them rubber banded or in condoms or anything.
lol - Kelly, I'm sure he appreciated your ' bi-valve" description. We know you love 'monsters' so there's no fooling us... your husband is a lucky guy.
Lol - an obscure version of the giant produce card. They only get as big as horse cocks - not elephant cocks.

ReplyDeleteAre these Geoducks really that large?
ReplyDeleteThey are monsters themselve if so.
Thanks Dan - actually (don't ask me why) but the horse cock images jarred my memory... yes, I've seen those suckers before.
ReplyDeleteI think the biggest they get is like 15 lbs. Pretty big but not as rendered in the photo.
ReplyDeleteYes, last I weighed my mollusk was around 15-pounds..... please, excuse the innuedo, I know you're husband would make a seasfood buffet out of me...
ReplyDeleteWell, my husband isn't *that* well endowed, but as coincidence would have it there is a bivalve shell surrounding his member.

ReplyDeleteDog is also a delicacy in some parts... and no rubber band or condom needed there. So I'll still stick to Maki Maki if I had my choice.
