Often associated with luxury cuisine and traditionally regarded as an aphrodisiac, geoduck adds an unusual and sophisticated element to a wide range of dishes.

Serving & Preparation Ideas

For raw preparations, briefly blanch the geoduck to help loosen the outer skin, then remove the shell and peel the siphon before slicing it thinly for sashimi or sushi. Serve with soy sauce and fresh wasabi.

For cooked dishes, use gentle methods such as grilling, broiling, or sautéing to help preserve the clam’s natural sweetness and characteristic texture. Thinly sliced geoduck can also be added to salads, seafood bowls, and chilled appetizers.
