Previously, we told you that geoduck was voted as the #1 grossest food in Washington. And I'm here to tell you that it's still considered that to this today.

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE GEODUCK?

I’ve been calling it, “GEE-O-Duck”. My friends call me bougie but apparently, I am not as cultured as I thought. It is pronounced, “GOOEY-Duck.”

Is geoduck a clam? Is it an oyster? Is it an ooey-gooey duck egg? Well, it is a CLAM. It loves to live its best clammy life out in the Pacific Coastal areas of Washington, Oregon, California, and Alaska. Some chefs like to chop up it’s meat and put it in ceviche, some like to deep-fry it, and others even serve it raw in sushi. Others like to use geoduck in chowder, sashimi, and stir-fry recipes. The list goes on.
