Geoducks by the bag full

What sea animal lives an average of 100 years, weighs approximately 10 pounds at maturity, is plentiful here in Kitsap and sells as a delicacy for $10 or more per pound in China? Actually I found several sources for prices and they vary BUT geoducks do bring a good price.

Geoducks! If you're not sure what a geoduck is Wikipedia pretty much covers it.

The three Suquamish geoduck boats are working the area in front of my house.

Recently, looking east on our sunny mornings, it was hard to get much of a picture but today with the overcast morning skies, I got some nice ones including this one of one of the boats pulling up a big net full of geoducks.
