jake [email] said at 6:11 PM 03-10-2006: To the first-time observer, this clam could be considered as rather grotesque because its shell is not capable of encompassing the huge body.
Well, no, actually, it could be considered grotesque because it is in fact grotesque. Disturbing. Lovecraftian. That kind of protruding, rippled mass of clam flesh is the very definition of grotesque.

And vomited.
Look's like bigfoot's uncut dick.
I'm seeing some dirty uncle handing these to the kids, chuckling to himself.

fear ye not the geoduck (pronounced Gooey Duck).
katie [email] said at 12:07 PM 03-11-2006: depends on where you are ... apparently they're all over the pacific northwest, even on non-asian menus. here in the dc area i eat them at a place called full kee, which is a pretty authentic chinese and vietnamese joint that's open till 3 am. if i were you i'd go looking in chinatowns - your average run of the mill fried rice place isn't going to have them. you could always cook some yourself ...
