seriously.. no man or woman is worth or has the right to eat anything that is alive and over 200 years old.. or even 100! I also feel the same about people chopping down trees of this age for furniture!
Honestly some things just don’t need to be eaten by people. The fact that they literally filter the water being one of the main reasons to not touch them. It’s like looking at an old fish tank filter that’s overdue for a change and saying I’m going to eat that. Second reason is that it lives a long time. Animals that live that long should be kept around and be studied. Third reason should be obvious is that they accumulate poison and is risky to eat anyway.
its so sad that the confiscated ones just go in a landfill. All those wasted lives that could have been filtering the ocean and just doin' clam stuff livin' their long old clam lives.
We used to go clamming every summer and these were the best part! Just basically laying around everywhere so hearing them called a delicacy is hilarious 😂
Not anybody wants to go slop around in the mud looking for clams, most have no experience to go dig for them. My mom took her to Canadian friend out to the bay to go clam digging, she went one direction he stayed put after about a hour or so she returned only to find he dug out a crater in the sand so mom had to show him how to find clams & what to look for to indicate were a clam is. It was very funny because he had no clue what he was doing.
In the days of servants in the Northeast, they were supposedly served crab so much and it was considered such a common food that the servants had contracts where there were only allowed to serve seafood a couple times a week. It's amazing how times change and people's tastes migrate.
Back in the 1970s I used to go to Bolinas Ca. I did work there and there used to be a nude lake on the hill near Dogtown. In Bolinas Lagoon when the tide was low we used to get the Geoducks in the mud flats. Interestingly, I knew the name Geoduck way back in the 1950s when I lived in a small town in Western Pennsylvania. Actor Lester Allen and later Oliver Blake played an American Indian with the name Geoduck. If you know the name of the movies, then you are an old fart like me or a movie buff. Clue "I got to get around to that one day".
Wow! It's already pretty rare to see a video that highlights WA, especially since everyone just _assumes DC_ whenever Washington is discussed‼️ This video was even cooler in the sense that I had never even heard of Geoduck farming or the criminal enterprise surrounding it 💯 😭💀
@@seansb2137 I beg your pardon. Is it that you are rightfully on guard for deceptive self-promoting bot activity or are you envious that I offered the channel a compliment? I look forward to your reply, but if you don't reply, if you don't defend your statement I'll have a clearer idea as to the kind of person who bothered to comment disparagingly with three whole letters.
Yummy, I like gooey duck. Personally for me I'm not such a big fan of them fried as my parents is. But I absolutely love them in fresh homemade clam chowder and clam dip. I love living in Oregon. Like places in Europe that has truffles. I get to eat all sorts of things that people have to pay a whole bottle of money for for free because they grow in my backyard. Matsutakes, Chantel's, Golden Corral's, deer, elk, salmon, lingcod, Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout, crappie, oysters, cockle, Washington's, Horseneck gooey ducks, mallard duck, wild turkeys, Grouse, checkers, ringneck pheasants, Canadian geese, and black bears. If you know what you're doing it's very hard to starve in Oregon. 😋
I ate geoduck for the first time recently as a home made chowder, and quite liked it. I'm from the PNW with my local college having a geoduck as a mascot, so the idea of them being rare is utterly alien to me. It was interesting to learn a bit about how my state benefits from geoduck trade. And yes, my obligatory thanks as a PNW native for correctly pronouncing geoduck.
Most Informative & Interesting! Though they provide delicacy, they look very ugly & creepy ! Astonishingly they live till 200 years & are highly productive❤
I tried my luck at Allen (near Shelton), WA. It’s hard work getting them out of the dirt and the damn game wardens are eyeing you from a distance ready to measure them before you can even get them to your car.
Did you hear the part when the clam reaches 107 years old that for some reason they just keep on living, except they don't do anything but exist meaninglessly, yet can like 200 years?,,, That's so unfair compered to us humans that are productive and have so much to live for, yet are incredibly lucky to reach mere lousy 100 years.
We literally continue living way past our reproduction cycles. Why is your grandma alive past menopause? They filter the waters, we polute shit, you could say people after retirement also dont do anything but exist meaninglessly.
its not meaningless though, they are definitely important. just the fact that they continue to filter the waters for years make it so much meaningful and precious, its a bit cruel that they are exploited, they should thrive everywhere instead
I am 52 years old, am an avid fan of nature, i know way more than i should, i have watched every nature documentary i could find.... but i NEVER in my life heard of this creature, and were it not for the live footage of it here, i would not have believed it! FYI - They look disgusting and i would not touch one let alone eat one, even for a million dollars.
I used to like the fried clams from Red Lobster and Joe's Crab Shack....properly cooked, they were delicious....i won't eat them now. The math on concentrated toxins made my decision, although I do miss the meal...
When I first read the name geoduck, I thought of a literal duck with a strong affinity to geography like soil, rocks, and earth in general. I was half right before I saw what it really is.
I also pay $15 dollars a pound for chewy, rubbery fish food. Especially raw. The less work someone does processing and sanitizing it the better.slimy, wet, chewy…mmmmm.
"It looks intimidating"
Well that depends on what you plan to do with it
Did my mind dirty or that what you actually thinking as well😂

Yeah, but this is about my tongue and stomach!

They should be taught to drive taxis, and contribute to human society. Since we can't eat them!
I know I'm not the first to do it, but as a person born and raised in the PNW, I would like to again thank you for pronouncing "geoduck" correctly ♡
Seriously? Why not just use the "Guehduck" spelling if you don't want 80% of people calling it "Ji-oh-duck"
So agree. I'd say 70%-80% of the creators have no concept of phonetic pronunciation. 😢
We used to go clamming every summer and these were the best part! Just basically laying around everywhere so hearing them called a delicacy is hilarious 😂
Well, people who don't live in the Pacific NW can't really get them, so yeah, they are delicacy in other countries and part of our country.
Laying around everywhere, you know you have dign for them right and deep.
Did you eat any? How did they taste?

Greenland sharks live too 400-500 years, massive sharks too, 20ft and more
They are amazing
Id say 6 inches is one of the biggest ducks, 2 inches is average
4-5 inches is average 6 is above average. 8 is one of the biggest.
That depends, are you referring to when in the flaccid or ridgid state? 😜
These look like they're from Africa 😂
it ain't big
It ain't small
But it sure won't please anyone 😂
6 is average
I don't look unless it's 9 to 11". Big & pretty ducks to the front. 😋
Literally, HOW can somebody get THAT passed their teeth and gums and chew on it? yuck😂😂😂. I really don't care how good they say they taste😂

A 200-year-old clam should not be eaten/licked/smelled/poked/pierced...
What about a 199 year old clam .
What about a 199 year old clam .

Even the elderly deserve love too.
Thats what she said
Its amazing that clams have such long lives
You are violating my innocence , broh!😂😂
Show us where the geoduck violated you 😂😂😂
"here's the catch.." I sea what you did there 🌊
Finally someone pronouncing Geoduck right. Now I don’t feel bad eating them
Thanks for that - I was calling them gee-o-ducks!

What kind of duck is that 😂
It’s the story of the ugly duckling
It’s called the “John Holmes “of ducks.
The African duck 😂😂😂
Well done video--- Cheers 👍

Have you seen a Gooey Duck??? How can you eat that...... LMAO
If you watched the video you should've seen at least 1.
i know huh!
Stephanie it's actually 3to5 years for optimal size and taste.
geoducks make for a great chowder, usually Boston-style, though I heard Manhattan-style is good also

3:02 did we mean to start talking about crabs? It showed a super large duck directly after talking about a crab.
My grandfather said you stop eating the clam once you're married 30 yrs. Is this true 👀?

They look like a human part
Giggity Giggity goo oh yeah 🤣🤣
that's what it is... its the male organ. ppl really shouldn't eat creatures.

Geoduck is outshining the lobster soon.
Next time i go to Boston I'm ordering Gooey Duck Chowder
It is theorized that the older ones live in order to lessen the amount of predators that get ahold of able to mate ones by a method of saturation.
I'm mature, I'm mature, I'm mature
I'm not, I'm not, I'm definitely not 😂😂😂
can you breed Geoducks in captivity to use them as living organic water filters just like what oysters can do in port cities
best comment ive seen in a long time.. you actually asked a relevant and GOOD question despite all the garbage comments on this vid
@@desperatedave3573 cry about it a lil' more
How effective are these in cleaning up ocean spills like oil or some other chemical?
I don’t think they are… if they have any effect on it it’s probably minuscule 😂
How Many Times Did WATOP Guy Tell Gooyey Duck word.!?
Why is Cabot Finch telling me about weirdly shaped clams?
I think I've seen some of these clips on Only Clams!
Can we get Steve high voice for one of the video? Kinda miss it lol
"What Happens to Clams if You Don't Eat Them Before They're 200 Years Old?"
They have a good chance of living to at least 200 years?
Just because you CAN eat something doesn't mean you should.
OMG, the voice - that voice. The male counterpart of Jeanne Moos. That was a 6 second view then NAH.

Stephanie it called Allen Washington not Olympia Washington. And farm raises goeduc in all over the P.N.W.
Yeah the quahog clam can live over 200 years
🤔
Damn i love your videos but the intro-coffee looks so thin i can even see the bottom of the cup.
Father nature wakes up early 😅
This is why its been told to us not to eat fish that doesn't have both scales and fins
I would choose death over eating that.....that thing....
I go clam fishing every year at the beach then the tide is low I catch either mussels or big neck clams
Everyone nose you should protect your clam
Shouldn't that be "Geoduck" and not "Gooeyduck?"
4:13 507 yrs old!!! And the DA scientists froze it!! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️It was alive till they bothered it!!!
I’m sorry, that’s horrifying, and are filters of the sea like all other shellfish…..
These things remind me of the thumb people from Spy Kids.
Why are they called ducks?
They are like tiny cute organic plants
Yes and spaceships will be made out of tardigrade's skin in the near future, and dogs will deliver ubereats.
