Live Geoduck Clams Special at Grand Fortune Food Mart, Markham and T&T

[Charles Yu]

Normally selling at a whopping $36 per pound at T&T, I came across this SPECIAL 'limited time and quantity offer' at Grand Fortune Food Mart, Markham ( NE corner of Kennedy & Steeles).
How much??!! Wait for it!!!!! $12.88 per pound!!!!!! Absolutely unbelievable! I was early and was lucky to pick up two relatively big ones! Total cost $49.95! ( compare to the normal T&T price of $140!! )
This evening, I also came across this special at the Yonge/Weldrick T&T. However, quality is way inferior to the Grand Fortune selection.
Photos showing preparation procedure and final sliced product. The loaded-up clam shell accommodated only about 1/3 of the 'creature'!! All mine!! Yummmmm!!
Using the clam shell as reference, the two clam trunks should have enough meat to fill up at least 6 clam shells! GREAT VALUE!!

did you use the gooey part of the body too or just ate the syphon part raw in slices?

great deal, I love the crunch.

Utilized and devour every part except for the ' gut ball'. Was told to use them for soup ( similar to conch meat ) but I passed.

are those darker colour ones ok quality? ive always seen them at less than half the price of the white bigger looking geoducks so i just assumed they weren't fresh geoducks

They were 'live' all right!! Syphon squirting out water like mad! Tasted just as fine as the $36 per pound ones. Personally, I care not about colour and look but more concern about size. Not looking for a wife here!! Ha!! The skin which I removed had a lot of sand and dirt. May be its the colour of their habitat's sand and mud?!
