Geoduck


This weekend David and I went to shows in Shelton, WA (it's about 15 miles NW of Olympia) a charming town with a nice showsite, if the weather co-operates - and it did pretty much - except for today when, after being cloudy, but fine all day, it decided to pour when the Hound group was in the ring.
We went out to a couple of good restaurants, following recommendations by the locals we knew and we even tried a local specialty, which is a mollusc (see photo above) this is a Geoduck (pronounced Gooey-duck) This was the first time we had had it, and it was beautifully prepared and tasted a bit like Calamari - it was good, I would have it again - not sure I would tackle it at home though!.
