The Amazing gooey duck

Geoduck - pronounced gooey duck - is a species of large saltwater clam. Other nick names for geoduck are elephant trunk clam and king clam. The Geoduck is the largest burrowing clam in the world, on average they weigh about three pounds. The largest one on record weighed in at a massive 15 pounds and was 2 meters in length. The amazing thing about these saltwater clams is that they have a life expectancy of about 146 years - but the oldest one on record lived for 160 years - this has to be one of the longest living organisms throughout the Animal Kingdom. See the giant, phallic & revered geoduck clam of Puget Sound, Washington: Video: 3 Feet Under - Digging Deep for the Geoduck Is that a geoduck in your pocket? Video: Cooking the gooey duck (Several years ago, we saw these in a tank in a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco's China Town. They are very bizarre looking! Being very adventurous that evening, we had some for dinner. They were thinly sliced and were prepared with vegetables in a yellowish sauce. )

I love eating gooey ducks. My mother loves to make it with rice, tastes great! Though I do think you have to get used to the texture.
