    The Pacific Northwest is the rare exception where some of the remaining tribes are still on or adjacent to their ancestral homes.

    Best seviche I ever had was made out of geoduck and from a tailgate after doing a beach cleanup.

      Massachusetts has a little bit of that as well, though in my experience, it only really means that the tribe members have more relaxed rules around regulated hunting/fishing seasons. Being able to fish out of season and harvest in closed shellfish beds, that sort of thing.

      The snails I’ve had (only twice) were delicious. Is geoduck like that? They look like a big snail.

        I farmed them for a number of years and they are surprisingly versatile. For the most part they taste like your standard manila, its just got a lot of mass compared to most shellfish. Preparation is everything and overcooking gets you a rubbery mass which isn’t so great.

        I enjoyed slicing the siphon and deep frying them, but at that point it was less flavor than texture what with the beer batter and all, etc.
