When you say "clam dog" my mind conjures an image of a chili dog but replace the chili with really thick New England clam chowder. You know, just in case you wanted more recipe ideas.
Among all the other things I'm grateful for here, I'm particularly grateful for knowing that I shouldn't be pronouncing geoduck like it's a Pokémon anymore.
As a coastal ecologist from Massachusetts I guess this was pretty par for the course for my life, although on a smaller scale (given it's a Pac NW clam.) You should definitely have steamers - you have the opportunity to peel off multiple tiny "socks". I wonder if batter made for fried whole belly clams might have worked better (a better batter).
You so crazy Dannis!! 🤡 BUT the burning (ha oh and sorry ouch) question still on everyone’s mind (who’s never been to the Pacific Northwest, much less anywhere in Asia...yet) how does geoduck meat taste compared to say, normal clams? The descrip of flavors of the thinly sliced pieces read more like salty salad, lol. But does it taste anything like a clam? I’ve always wanted to try it, assuming it tastes like a big giant clam because clams are top 3 on my personal delicatory list. I could live on them (and kinda did when Howard Johnson’s was still around or I could still get cherrystones by the lb). Can’t wait for the next installment to hear about that BD flavor!!! (Also bravo Davida!)
You really circumcised clam dick and had it flood sweet hot clam juice into your mouth. 10/10, no notes, can't get this kind of bullshit anywhere else

You neglected to mention that the geoduck is the mascot of Evergreen State College and has a song: The "fight song" of The Evergreen State College.
So named because their mascot is the revolting mollusk, the geoduck.
The school's motto?
Omnia Extares
Let it all hang out.
(words and music by Malcolm Stilson, 1971)
Go, Geoducks go,
Through the mud and the sand,
let's go.
Siphon high, squirt it out,
swivel all about,
let it all hang out.
Go, Geoducks go,
Strech your necks when the tide
is low
Siphon high, squirt it out,
swivel all about,
let it all hang out.

I almost spit out my coffee at "isn't nature amazing?"
I had no idea degloving was part of the culinary prep for geoduck! I'm equal parts disturbed and fascinated.
Signed. As a fellow writer, I hear you and am hoping for the best.
Now to read the stupid food part. :P
Just submitted the letter.
Keep up the good work yo! I laugh at (almost literally) everything you write.
Someone should write a little ditty about sucking on a clam dog
Guilty! I was totally giggling. And then again when you called it out.

The fried clam dog looks like an angry face 😠 😂
Geoduck nachos? Is that what we're in for next? Damn, whatever it is will be a treat.
Sounds like you need a splatter guard for frying, it's still unnerving with the vat of molten oil but it does keep the mess down.
