Picture Of A Geoduck

"What Does A Geoduck Look Like" Well the gooey duck is not exactly the best looking clam in the world! In fact, to many its quite ugly. Often greeted with shrieks, awe and even downright disgust. The Chinese call it the "elephant trunk clam" for good reason. You can even say there is a resemblance to a certain part of the male anatomy.

Geoducks achieve sexual adulthood at three years. After five to 10 years, when their weight is between two and four pounds, they are considered harvestable. They will continue to grow until they are about 15 years old and can attain weights of 14 pounds.

Geoducks have been marketed in the United States as "king clam."
