Tips for selecting high-quality geoduck
Besides knowing how much geoduck costs per kg, you should also consider these tips to ensure you buy fresh and high-quality geoduck:
- Size: Choose large geoduck as they tend to have more and firmer meat.
- Freshness: Fresh geoduck has a hard shell, a bright and clean appearance, and no dark spots or foul odor. The siphon should retract quickly when touched.
- Origin: Prioritize geoduck with a clear origin, caught or farmed in clean and reputable marine areas.
- Weight: A good geoduck feels heavy and meaty. Avoid those that feel too light, as they may not be fresh.
- Color: High-quality geoduck usually has an ivory or light yellow hue. Avoid ones with overly dark or discolored shells.
- Siphon condition: The siphon should be long and intact, without cuts or damage. The longer the siphon, the more meat it contains.
