With one of the lowest tides of the year Sebastes and I took Cjharlie , his mom and a friend to our super secret geoduck spot. The digging was a lot of work but the results were worth it.


This is what we were looking for




Then the work begins!





Sucess at last


And the final totals

cut them into strips, pound them out, and fry them up! or go the lazy way and just make patties...which are usually pretty damn good too

goin tomorrow...missed out today

Dave, looks like ya got a good spot...keep it secret! Way to go...

They all look like bucks.....no Hens ?

This is the body meat after a serious workout with a Jaccard; tender and yummy!

Looks like Fun SkySteelhead, Sebastes, Dave, and crew

There has to be a good BBQ recipe for them suckers.....?

Yum Yum. Haven't had those in a while. Looks good!

Actually there is no such thing as a Geoduck. It is a figment of Vedder's imagination aided by extreme skill at Photoshop.

And if there really were, I doubt that they would be edible.

I did think however that I glimpsed a Unicorn while walking on the beach yesterday.

Looks tasty!

makes me want to dig at lunch....mmmmm....i might have to unfreeze some....mmmm...c

I got to go on this trip last series of tides. Charlie taught me to eat the neck raw (sashimi style) and to stir fry the body. Both were excellent.
For the neck you just scald it and the outer skin peels right off. You do the same with the horse clams but it's harder to get the skin off.

Charlie it looks like you figured out a pack system for your tube.

Great haul guys! I dug one on fathers day. Four feet deep in sand.... Tried for 2, got one, along with sore muscles. If you dip the neck in boiling water, the skin will peel off like a sock. I saute the foot with garlic butter and other herbs. No need to pound this! If you find yourself scraping off the softer orange meat with your fingers, stop! This is the most tender meat on the clam!
The neck takes some pounding.

Cheers,
Neal

Nice Donkey Duc's Mr. Vedder! Looks like fun!!!!!

Uh, huh, we went yesterday, but only lasted for a couple hours so didn't do as well as Mr. V. But, heading out in a couple minutes with 6 kids in tow, if we can get 4 amongst all the other distractions the kids will be seeing, I'll be happy.

I'd say that's the most real work Vedder has done all year except he doesn't seem to be the one digging in the pics.

That looks fun and tasty!

Fish on...

Todd

nothing wrong with Vedder's brain.

Only if he remembers fishing for cutts on the Canal.

Keep clam.

Dave and Doug,
Thanks so much again for an awesome Geoducking experience!
3 Feet under is quite a ways down there to find them fer sure!

Seastrike, My new pack seems to be working out pretty good.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Still heavy though...
