I went to Evergreen. Omnia Extares
Let it all hang out. Woo! Here's our fight song: Go, Geoducks go,
Through the mud and the sand,
let's go.
Siphon high, squirt it out,
swivel all about,
let it all hang out.

Go, Geoducks go,
Strech your necks when the tide
is low
Siphon high, squirt it out,
swivel all about,
let it all hang out.

Here we go, a nice giant. From wiki:

"The giant clam (Tridacna gigas) is a clam that is the largest living bivalve mollusk. Tridacna gigas is one of the most endangered clam species... they can weigh more than 200 kilograms (440 lb), measure as much as 120 cm (47 in) across, and have an average lifespan in the wild of over 100 years."

Neat. Imma look them up. I may be wrong, but I thought I heard that people consider them edible.

When I graduated, I ate geoduck (sushi) for the first time. Celebratory nonsense. Don't do it. Just don't. Eugh. Nasty.

Perhaps it was the preparation. Sushi itself is a challenge to make savory. I thought geoducks were very popular. Perhaps its a regional taste.

a lot of those clams are already dead.

I fucking love geoduck sashimi. It's amazing, like normal clams but a thousand times better and crisp.

Of course I would find other greeners on /an/
>>
>>2113374
dude you should be throwing out any that are even slightly open. Even slightly open clams could have been dead for days

Geoducks? yeah, They are a delicacy in China even. In fact like 95% of the geoducks captured and/or farmed in the U.S. go to China.

Honestly dunno. It made me remember seeing something like that on the beach (coming out the sand, although still under the water) when I was a kid. Back then I thought it was some kind of worm, but now I'm not sure.
