Season: Year-Round.
Geoducks, pronounced "gooey-ducks," are large saltwater clams native to the Pacific Northwest of North America. These extraordinary mollusks have long siphons that protrude from their shells, resembling oversized necks, making them one of the world's largest burrowing clams.
Highly prized for their sweet, succulent meat and unique texture, geoducks are considered a delicacy in Asian cuisine, particularly in sushi and sashimi dishes. Harvesting geoducks involves carefully digging them from sandy ocean bottoms, and they can fetch high prices in seafood markets.
