Geoduck 101: How to Clean a Geoduck Clam

[@mikegarland9406]

Thank you for this series. PNW resident but never dug the ducks. Buddy and I took our boat on July 5th to a boat access beach. We were able to harvest 5 geoducks, and shuck 3 dozen fresh oysters. Will be doing both your recipes plus a SE Asian chowder with coconut milk.

[@slowbro1337]

One of my favorite clams to eat and things to clean as a fishmonger. Great video for people to give it a go on their own

[@baonkang5990]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@blueovaltrucker]

I never knew such a creature lived on this planet until I watched your old Bizarre Foods show so long ago. Thanks for the knowledge Andrew.

[@hayzeusizded9433]

Amazing as always! Will try Geoduck some day.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

My wife saw the thumbnail and said “ I knew he’d get around to eating THAT! Lol

[@shany3287]

I have not had this type of clam before, but looks interesting 👀😂. I love seafood...so I would definitely try it. Can’t wait to see the next video for preparation. You’re awesome and I miss you in TV!!

[@shany3287]

@Black truth thank you

[@thomasstengel7356]

Love geoduck. This may be a niche video but I'm grateful for the tutorial.

[@mjolnircarlssen4211]

Love these videos! I have so many foods that I need to try!

[@AaronHowell87]

God it's good to see you again. Subscribed and excited to catch up on videos I missed.

[@AndrewZimmern]

Thanks for subscribing! We've got some cool stuff coming up.

I'm such a big fan been watching since bizarre food

[@ContinentsCondiments]

Thanks for these Andrew. You're one of the only people I'd ever trust to show me how to prepare some of these more exotic ingredients.

[@spaceman5734]

andrew, I hope you took them out to a movie and nice dinner first bro.

[@michelleboyle6497]

Is there a more humane way to kill one, other than using a blowtorch or boiling water?

[@frequency280]

Love these. So lucky they live by me

[@ReverendRedMage]

Interesting choice of background music.

He gets to tell the jokes. Subtle but funny. lol

What's the background music?

[@mattpeacock5208]

Dude! How do you do this without laughing?

[@douglawson8937]

gooey Drewy, excellent video, sir. I didn't know you could farm raise these things! It would be interesting to learn how they do that as well. Maybe a video of you visiting the geoduck farm should be in order?

[@tpseeker3367]

Not sure if there's a vid of Andrew farming them butt there's one of Mike Rowe Dirty Jobs farming them.

[@glaces.5591]

I don't think I could clean one of these without giggling.

[@spaceman5734]

hahaha......i think I just lost my innocences

[@ramencurry6672]

I don’t find sex joke funny because they were so repetitive in 7th and 8th grade that it now feels stale and predictable

[@glaces.5591]

[@theobehle7976]

Same 😂

[@nedsneedvanoverbeek1678]

did you make a third video on the geoduck? I can't seem to find it.

[@sokhenglifestyle9660]

Great video

[@pointlagrange4823]

I wonder when during the process that thing stopped screaming in clam

[@melicious7deadlyseeds]

I am so happy to have stumbled across this! I absolutely loved watching Andrew!! The one I don’t think I could eat is the stuff from what he calls the poop chute hahaha the poo jellybeans

[@user-sf9wc1zh9x]

I have no idea how you did this with a straight face!

[@jennap3696]

Can’t find the video of how to slice it up!

[@AndrewZimmern]

I will be posting it next week!

[@fizixx]

Same here

[@domstan5605]

Brilliant!

[@cashmerewoods7538]

I haven't been able to find one😔. I would love to eat with you one day, you are my favorite foodie

[@frequency280]

They are super fast. Better to just order it

[@katbravo]

Now I'm curious when your next video, where you prepare them, will be on here. ;) time to go to Pike's

[@katbravo]

Just found a response below. See ya next week.

[@donna4047]

Omg andrew! I would never have recognized you! Omg! Seriously you could have walked right by me and I would never have recignuzed you! The beard is just an incredible thing for the male human. Incredible trabsformation

darn ... watched Andrew shows for over 10 years and his got a youtube show ... oh wow

[@PlayafromtheHimalayas]

Wooahh. What happened to Andrew's show? He disappeared and I loved this guy on TV.

[@gladysteresachacon4539]

Yo como q imGino lo q aste quiere dicir. Pero no como je le ocurre semejante vaina cumpa!

[@cheflegere]

Well if you had to do 50 clams, that torch is out of the window. Double pan steam them for 60+ seconds and capture the juice in the bottom pan. Job is done fast and efficient.

[@karlamelissa3889]

Here in Mexico we call them almeja chiluda or almeja generosa for the resemblance with the male bits

[@jujutrini8412]

What delicious dishes do you make with them in Mexico?

[@pacificrules]

I love geoduck !!!

[@AndrewZimmern]

Same!

[@lokyllaso]

Good afternoon chef, could you make a video cooking "callos?" is very typical in Spain of Madrid, a greeting

[@kayannefojtasek4198]

Actually they are very good. You have to clean them well ,can be eaten raw or cooked

[@romanmanzarate142]

looks good eat it

I'm 100% sure 100+ jokes will be made on this video brother LMAO

I think he does this a lot

[@mgmcd1]

Why is it pronounced Gooey-Duck, when it’s spelled Jee-oh-duck? 🤔

[@muffemod]

Aqueduct? 🤔

[@chrisgoode9150]

viaduct

[@AndreasElf]

Psyduck

[@r.awilliams9815]

The name comes from a PNW Native American word, and the spelling doesn't always make sense to English users. We have many Native American place names here, and the spelling confuses just about everyone who doesn't live here.

[@mgmcd1]

@@r.awilliams9815 we have the same in the Chesapeake Bay region, but they’re limited to things like WeecoMeeco versus WHY-comico for Wicomico County. Spelling is good, pronunciation is up for grabs.

Thank you Andrew Zimmerman Israel 👍👍👍👍

[@MISSLOVELY_REE]

I love clams but I will just stay away from this one😢

You should tell people how hard they are to dig 😂

[@digitallocations1423]

I thought they rise above the water to breath and you just pull them out.

Ok Andrew, is this what they refer to as food porn?

[@thehappygeoduck4834]

Andrew, Come dig one, two, or three with us. We'd love to host you. You've got an open invite however you'll have to clean all of them. I have a great Geoduck Piccata recipe served beach side. I agree the Panopea generosa (geoduck) is the BEST CLAM in the World. They are commercially farmed, like the ones you're preparing, in my backyard.

[@jennifer5712]

OMG, the blowtorch seems quite brutal. Maybe a few seconds in boiling water before torching? Eek!

[@jennifer5712]

Love to know about these though. Thank you

wow Geoduck clam , eat it raw sashi style, lightly boiled.... grilled...

[@samuelcollie2050]

Interesting, we just use a sharp knife to take the skin off.

[@voiceactorRU]

It’d be much easier to put it in the boiling water for a few seconds. Obviously, you are doing it first time in your life 😂😂😂

I cringed every single time he put the knife inside that thing. The way he peeled the top skin..... Oh my God! It even have balls and I swear I saw some goey thing coming out of the tip of that thing..... I am not joking. 😑 I would stay 100 miles away from women who eat this thing..... 😮😅

Please stop referring to the siphon as a snout. And they don't use it to breathe air, they are aquatic, they get their oxygen from the water.

[@mobius8002]

if its still alive its cruel to do this.

[@Frederwin]

I’ve cooked and eaten many such animals in the clam family, and other critters within the crustaceans of the oceans, but never killed them with a blow torch..... Frankly, you’re not as good as you think you are as an experienced cook.....

Sustainable but not sustainable for my wallet.
