Anybody ever had abalone?

Where? What's it taste like?

 

Same question for those geoduck (gooey duck) clams.

Yes. fisherman's wharf. Very tender mild tasting whitefish. Almost a touch of trout taste but so subtle that I would have had to have been much more sober to be sure that this is an accurate description.

 

It was not on the menu and I asked for it. Server went back and said they had it and how would I like it prepared. Told him that I left that up to the chef. Smartest move I ever made. Very lightly breaded with numerous mild spices and a slight lemon flavor. Chef's love it when you leave it up to them and you will likely get something very special. I did.

Just the shells. They make pretty catch-alls

[HTH 95]

Don't think I have.

 

 

But, I have seen a show about geoduck (gooey duck) clams. It was called 'dirty jobs' I believe.

 

The host of the show pulls out this HUGE gooey duck (looks like this except it's hanging down) from the ground/sand...

And then says, 'rarely am I at a loss for words, but this is one of those moments.'

Used to have it often, that was before they became grossly over harvested though. The flavor is unique although fairly subtle. Most common preparation is lightly breaded and sauteed. I would have to say it's not worth the ridiculous pricing though. That and the fact virtually all of the abalone served anymore is either barely legal or not legal in size. Depending on how you feel about eating a quickly disappearing animal and contributing to its dissappearance it may not be worth it.

are one of your alia funny and you use it all up on him/her?

Abalone are single shell mollusk that cling to rocks. They tighten down to the rock if you mess with them and have to be removed with a pry-bar if you want to harvest one.

 

The good news is that abalone has been commercial grown in tanks for many years. The size restrictions don't apply, and they are usually sold at about 3" accross and refered to as medalions. You can also get abalone is some Cali sushi bars.

Yes, and it is very delicious. But you have to make it right or it can get real rubbery or hard. I know this sounds sexual, but you gotta know how to pound the meat. Tender thin slices of breaded abalone is the best!

 

Never had a geoduck, but seen them. Looks like a horses dong coming out of the shell. Kind of a horrible thought to go through your head before you eat it.

That's where I had it, at Taiko on Rosecrans in El Segundo. Kinda rubbery raw, if I recall.

Yeah, on Discovery, Dirty Jobs. I saw that episode too. Weird stuff.

I had abalone sandwich once

It's fairly common here, but pricey as hell. Mild taste, in terms of "fishiness", close to the texture of opihi, or a tougher oyster.
