Three Ways to Eat Live Geoduck

Disclaimer: Consuming raw seafood, especially live, carries potential health risks. Always prioritize food safety and freshness when handling live seafood.

1. Sashimi

Sashimi is the most common way to enjoy live geoduck. The meat is sliced thinly and served raw with soy sauce, wasabi, and other condiments. This method allows you to appreciate the geoduck’s natural sweetness and texture.

2. Geoduck Ceviche

A refreshing and flavorful option, geoduck ceviche involves marinating the raw geoduck in citrus juices (lime, lemon, or orange) with onions, cilantro, and other fresh ingredients. The acidity of the citrus “cooks” the geoduck while infusing it with a bright and tangy flavor.

3. Grilled or Pan-Seared Geoduck

For those who prefer cooked seafood, grilling or pan-searing the geoduck can enhance its natural flavors. Marinate the geoduck in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger before cooking. Grilling or searing imparts a smoky or caramelized flavor to the meat.
