• GEODUCK: WILD OR FARMED?

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?

Farmed Geoduck: Cultivated through aquaculture practices, farmed geoducks are raised in controlled environments that mimic their natural conditions. This method ensures a consistent and reliable supply of geoducks while minimizing environmental impact. Farmed geoducks exhibit a clean taste, reflecting the careful monitoring of their growth and the controlled conditions in which they are raised. This sustainable approach allows for a steady and reliable source of these delectable shellfish.


Wild Geoduck: Found along the Pacific Northwest coast, wild geoducks thrive in their natural habitats, buried beneath sandy ocean bottoms. These mollusks, known for their long necks and distinctive shells, absorb the rich flavors of the diverse marine environments they inhabit. Harvested sustainably, wild geoducks offer a taste of the untamed sea, with each specimen reflecting the unique characteristics of its specific coastal region.
