Crawling Phallus
Don't let your mind go astray
What you are seeing is called Geoduck
(pronounced "gooey duck"). It is a species of very large saltwater
borrpwing clam that has no relationship to ducks. Its large, meaty
siphon is prized in east Asia for its savory flavor and crunchy texture.
Geoduck is regarded by some as an aphrodisiac due to its phallic shape.
Geoduck clam shell ranges from 15 - 20
centimeters in length, but the "neck" or siphons can be 1 meter in
length. They are one of the longest-living organisms in the Animal
Kingdom. The oldest recorded specimen was 168 years old, but individuals
over 100 years old are rare. A female geoduck produces about 5 billion
eggs in her century-long lifespan—in comparison, a human female produces
about 500 viable ova during the course of her life.
Today, they sell in East Asia for up to US$370 per kg. The geoduck's high market value has created an $80 million U.S. industry, with harvesting occurring in both Washington state and the province of British Columbia. The world's first geoduck fishery was created in 1970.

Almost nobody can look at a geoduck without giggling.

It is very popular in China, where it is
considered a delicacy, mostly eaten cooked in a Chinese style. In Korean
cuisine, geoducks are eaten raw with spicy chili sauce, sautéed, or in
soups and stews. In Japan geoduck is prepared as raw sashimi, dipped in
soy sauce and wasabi. On Japanese menus, geoduck is called mirugai or
mirukuigai.
