Geoduck Harvest

Visiting the Brownsville marina to take some pictures I was there as the geoduck boats came in and unloaded.

The lighting was good, the scene colorful and I couldn't resist taking pictures of the entire process (more pictures on KitsapImages.com).

We just had relatives visiting (see posts below) and Chris was facinated by geoducks. I am sorry I didn't know that we could go and watch the unloading - it would have been a great field trip for everyone!

As I took pictures the crew saw me and offered some of the geoducks with broken shells.

I have never cooked geoduck, but because of the extensive conversations recently, and because they were harvested in front of our house, I decided I should give it a try. The crew gave me instructions on cleaning and skinning them, which worked perfectly and now I have several pounds of geoduck and I'm looking for recipes.
