@tafeykey because if you cut it flat you can use it as a nigari sushi or sashimi, it just make it more presentable, but of course you can cut it to whatever shape you prefer, Keep it mind they are a very delicate texture, so every cooking procedure count, in terms of shape and cooking time.
Been living on the east coast and eating clams all my life but I've never before heard of or seen such a creature. If I ever see it on a menu anywhere, I will try it.
Stainless Steel Chef Knives MUST be maintained properly. It's less about what brand you buy and mostly about how well you maintain them. Sharpening them to a razor sharp edge is an art and a lot of work. Bourdain likes regular steel knives because they can be sharpened to razor sharp with less work. He feels they are easier to maintain and just as good with the correct sharpening technique used regularly.
Gotta luv them g-ducks best tasting clam in the world (IMHO) I started digging and eating them about 20yrs ago. If you ask a lady friend of yours to go digging ducks and if she takes to it then your gonna get some! , cuz the ladies dig them ducks!!
In a sushi restaurant where I once worked they cook just the body in shoyu and dash stock bit of saki and sugar and ginger to taste. This was given to go with alcohol after. Pretty tasty with beer.
love the tutorial. I remember seeing this on bizarre foods with Andrew zimmern and found it yucky but if you think about it this is the king of all clams instead of those puney ones you get at typical cheesy restaurants. thank you
I seen Andrew bazaar eats and loved watching his program, living vicariously through him travels but stop watch after his trip to Iceland, he had eaten MY FAVORITE childhood bird the puffin on the decline 😐 .... anyway I lost my thought process urg
That was interesting. I'm surprised comments are so polarized. Usually the haters go for ethnic groups, but I think the phallic and castration imagery threw them off their feed.
Can But it will taste better raw, even with salad or Sashimi style If you must cook it, I would recommend sautéed Quick and barely cook Fully cooked will be chewy
@@subzero824 thank you. I saw them at my Asian grocery store yesterday. It looks weird but I have heard that it’s very tasty. The owner of the store said they like it raw. Thank you. I will try it raw but will sauté some for my husband.
quacksackerthegreat Starfire : I'm afraid to eat seafood period, due to heavy mercury content. But it's a very interesting video on how to prepare this large thin clam!
quacksackerthegreat Starfire I am no expert, but I had a biology teacher discuss it this way. We were looking at sections of crayfish under the microscope and they were full of parasites. When asked about this, the teacher discussed that we should never eat fresh water creatures without cooking them. The content of salt in our body is low enough that the parasites could infest us too and do pretty bad damage! The logical question then was, why do people eat sushi raw? His explanation was that sushi was made from ocean creatures and their salt content was way higher than ours. Parasites tuned to live in an ocean creature can not survive (maybe thrive) in our mostly minimal salt content.
what would be the best way to cook it , and can you describe the taste. is it more of a fishy taste or a smoother flavor like sashimi salmon or hard flavor like the conk shell snail. :)
anything white will do the trick,,, Sauvignon Blanc, or something easy to drink, yet it's also depends on the sauce and style that you are preparing. the key is find the one that you like, there are no rules for your own palate!!
I think this is one type of clam that you can leave alone . I'm talking from an eating point a view. The Geoduck clam can live up to 145 years in the sand . Who the hell would want to eat something that old?? how good can it taste ? It cant
+Giovani22 They taste very good. Would you like to know how old a lobster can get? If you ate a large lobster there is a good chance that it was older than you. If you ate and orange roughy fish there is a possibility it was alive for the end of the American civil war. I have ate one and it was very good.
Do you mean "crunchy"? Crunchy is like nuts or carrots. You don't really hear "crunchy" with fish unless it's fried or something; like tempura. Maybe you mean it firms up and gets more of a bite? Do they have a strong smell like squid? All that water they hold makes me think they would smell.
+cineplecks If you run out of knife then you just slice in the other direction. He's telling you not to make a sawing motion. Cutting on the back stroke is fine. Just don't act like you are cutting threw a log.
Funny how some are saying how awful a large clam is eaten raw. It’s totally natural what we were born to eat, but think nothing about eating highly processed hot dog that have filler. Nothing about a pig is wasted pig ear, snout, face , are used in hot dog , unless it’s a top brand and says 100% meat. Goggle it if you don’t believe, homogenize milk too is make to have milk all year long. Could that be the reason why why young are having period at 9 years old? Just saying stay away from process food as much as possible it’s will not age as much.
OMG, ICK PEOPLE REALLY EAT THIS STUFF? THAT'S GOTTA BE SLIPPERY GOIN DOWN, & HARD TO SWALLOW!! NOPE, JUST NOT FOR ME, EVER. GOOD LUCK TO YA ALL THAT EAT THIS STUFF!!
Dude seriously? Geoduck served cooked or raw as sashimi IS the king crab of all clam meats, and I bet that how you feel is the very same reaction that people had after some chef first invented chocolate fudge pudding. I remember my five year old brother saying "EWW how can you eat that?!" when I made instant fudge pudding the first time. It took years before he tried the stuff and he truly regretted every day he did once he got the courage and finally tried it. The meat of a geoduck is sweet and firm like conch meat, and even most people who can't handle the fishy flavors of seafood melt into flavor ecstasy after tasting the meaty flavor explosion that this this tasty jewel of the pacific ocean.
Watching people clean and prepare fish and other sea creatures is kinda fun. Your video was very informative. Thanks.
well done 👍🏼 light, music choice along with your easy going tutorial you
have my full attention ..relaxing
Thanks for posting this, you did a really good job.
Thank you so much. I've really enjoyed your videos.
Like your music and attitude. Live long and prosper my buddy
My kind of cook; he is efficient, easy to understand, and he cleans up a he works.
This a very good dish. Just watching this video is making me hungry. It is a gooey texter and really good!
Very good !i Learned how to do !great job ,very helpful !
still here. and thank you for this video, very informative 👍
Never tried geoduck before but I watched a few videos on how to prepare it and I would love to try it at least once.
They destroyed one of these on an episode of Chopped . Not one contestant had ever worked with one . This is correct /informative . Thank a You !

Thank you for the video~ And I know you've already been told this but you really do have a nice voice : )
It's actually taste very good as raw, crunchy clam texture.
When it cook, it's only take a few second to cook in a boiling water/broth.
If too much cooked, as any other shelfish, it will get a rubber texture, hard to eat.
It's my first time seeing this I didn't know that you eat that I'm from Puerto Rico🇵🇷
That was Exceptional Thank you .🍷🍽 👀
i SUBBED! Very Interesting Video!
loved it so cool
Been living on the east coast and eating clams all my life but I've never before heard of or seen such a creature. If I ever see it on a menu anywhere, I will try it.
It IS good to eat! I have had it at restaurant in Washington state.
Rose Lee appearance I️ thought it was a penis I️ accidentally clicked on it and looked down like wow lol
Do you have this playlist?
"It's getting hard...that's what you looking for..." lol
glad you wash your hands alot that means your a clean person
Loved this video, showing us how to slice it per Japanese style and with Irish music in the background! Thanks for uploading!
Thanks bro..
Hey what type of sauce go with that??
Thanks for the video. I'd like to know what brand of knife you use. They seem very sharp and I like the sound of the blade.
Look up any restaurant quality knive sets

how would you cook this ? like clams ?
Gotta luv them g-ducks best tasting clam in the world (IMHO) I started digging and eating them about 20yrs ago. If you ask a lady friend of yours to go digging ducks and if she takes to it then your gonna get some! , cuz the ladies dig them ducks!!
is this suppose to be an instructional video for a friend/relative for cooking in a shop?
as far as i checked, in all geoduck videos, they are eaten raw, no one cooks it actually. am i wrong?
Zspector thanks...that was my ?
In a sushi restaurant where I once worked they cook just the body in shoyu and dash stock bit of saki and sugar and ginger to taste. This was given to go with alcohol after. Pretty tasty with beer.
I just saw a video where they stir fry it with garlic, onion and bell peppers.
Very nice!
Thanks for your kindly show how to make clams
love the tutorial. I remember seeing this on bizarre foods with Andrew zimmern and found it yucky but if you think about it this is the king of all clams instead of those puney ones you get at typical cheesy restaurants. thank you

I hate some at Kampai on the south shore of Montreal! The taste is great, and the texture as well.
That was interesting. I'm surprised comments are so polarized. Usually the haters go for ethnic groups, but I think the phallic and castration imagery threw them off their feed.
Very nice.
Great tracher
damn good vid thank u
In the USA about 15-30 dollars depending on the place and weight of the clam
Can it be eaten fully cooked? If so, how long do you boil it or is it better steamed?
Can
But it will taste better raw, even with salad or Sashimi style
If you must cook it, I would recommend sautéed
Quick and barely cook
Fully cooked will be chewy
@@subzero824 thank you. I saw them at my Asian grocery store yesterday. It looks weird but I have heard that it’s very tasty. The owner of the store said they like it raw. Thank you. I will try it raw but will sauté some for my husband.
I'll be willing to bet that knife is exorbitantly expensive.
If you buy it in the market it you can tell it's fresh because, well, it's alive.
Wow! You're totally appealing!
LOL...so does a butchered cow or pig!
Jeez Louise, the funeral music is even more overpowering than in Part I. I can't hear the guy!
@Terry Cantor oh pleazzz 👎🏼
the music ? please tell me
I'm afraid to eat seafood raw. Don't you have to worry about parasites?

Geoducks , especially in the pugent sound do contain parasites, especially in the more recent years more and more.
What's next? Cats and dogs?
Thanks. Good info.
@blackbirdherotwo I had the exact same thought, LOL!
what would be the best way to cook it , and can you describe the taste. is it more of a fishy taste or a smoother flavor like sashimi salmon or hard flavor like the conk shell snail. :)
I want that to be my theme music.
😂😂😂😂😂
赞赞赞赞👍!
🥰🥰🥰
...is it perfectly ok?
Lol
Wow
how much do geoduck clams cost?
never seen them in uk
Rose Lee - I just thumbed up a two year old comment on a 6 year old comment. 😆
Watching it in 2020....

COOK THAT SHIZNIT

+clemente miranda Ignore the fact that it looks like a ****, other than that it is clam candy (yum)!

...AS A DIVER AND SUSHI ENTHUSIAST, I EAT RAW SEA URCHIN AND ABALONE, OK, I'LL TRY TIGER PRAWN, LOBSTER AND CLAM.
HAHA Well Said!
This clam is king!
The music is too annoying to watch any further! It's really not needed in an instructional video.
o nice its a chinese jajaja i was thinks its an american ...looks like an american and talk like and american
America is a big country and full of immigrants--especially the big cities. He is probably American of Asian descent
Talks like an American with strong foreign accent! So, what is "American"?
I can use a knife way better
I wish I had you as my boyfriend... being an Aussie model I seem to attract total idiots. :(
Riiiiiight
worst geoduck video ever
Explain why
