Cleaning Geoduck
(Use butterknife to clean geoduck)
Using butterknife, go around inside of shell until the shell can be pulled away from the body.
Using butterknife, cut belly part away.
Put in boiling water for 10 seconds, flipping halfway through.
If skin is not coming off then blanch for a few seconds longer.(If the clam is previously frozen the skin may easily be pulled off without blanching).
Start peeling from the bottom of the geoduck (where the shell used to be) and pull all the skin off.
Now, it is essentially a tube so use the butterknife to split the tube open so it’s one flat piece.
Clean out any sand left on the inside.
Rinse off
Dice geoduck with a kitchen knife into small pieces (can also use a blender)
