Scary shellfish ID

Yesterday’s scary shellfish is a geoduck, a giant burrowing clam. Pronounced gooey-duck, it digs three feet deep into sand and lives there for up to 150 years. Wow. The Washington State Department of Ecology has great information about geoducks, and if you’re interested in cooking one, here is a recipe.

Thanks very much to Lisa Kim and Kristen Elsby for clearing up my mystery.
