Description

Well, hello there! Meet the Washington state bird (well, the runner up), the nation's most unique college mascot, and completely innocent looking bivalve - the geoduck!

To celebrate March Clamness 2026, we've put together a clam box featuring the largest clam in the world (and completely innocent looking bivalve) the geoduck, plus manila steamers, and canned clams from spain. 

It's an around the world clam tour, full of delicious and (we promise) easy to prepare bivalves. 

Each box should feed 3 to 6 people.

Each box contains: 

  • 1 Geoduck from South Puget Sound(1.1 to 1.3 lbs total)
  • 2 lbs manila clams from mid Hood Canal
  • 1 tin of clams from Galicia in northwest Spain
  • A guide to preparation and storage
  • A letter with recipe suggestions: geoduck ceviche, geoduck-and-manila chowder, steamed clams in the Spanish or PNW style, and suggestions for turning the tinned clams into a fancy snack or appetizer 

Delivery Information: 

  • This box has a fixed delivery date of Friday March 27th.

⚠️ Proposition 65 Warning

⚠️ WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including cadmium, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65warnings.ca.gov/food

Here's more information about cadmium.

Clams bring happiness, and geoduck (pronounced "gooeyduck"), the largest member of the clam family, certainly know how to make humans giggle. They are incredibly long lived (the oldest recorded was 168 years old) and live deep in the substrate (hence the long necks).

To clean a geoduck, you simply blanch the geoduck for 10 seconds in boiling water and then pull first the shell off, and then the skin. From there, you can separate the siphon (neck) from the belly meat. These two parts of the clams have different utilities - we'll send recipes for each in the box!

We farm a small amount of geoduck, and they also grow wild on our beach. The clams we're selling here, however, are purchased from friends at Neptune Seafood who farm in the South Puget Sound, which is true geoduck country. They’re 7-10 years old. We bring them in every March for a spring treat. Quantities are limited!

The details:

  • Clams ship whole (live) and should be cleaned the day they arrive
  • They weigh 1.1 to 1.3 pounds each
  • Delivery date Friday 3/27
