Chinese are replacing Japanese as eager buyers of our seafood... Southeast Alaska Mariculture: *Geoduck divers create new industry* akbizmag.com The primary market for geoducks - farmed and wild stock, originating from Alaska and elsewhere - remains China, although the giant clam is available on menus throughout Asia. Geoduck is considered a delicacy and can sell at the table for up to $30 per pound. Served raw, sautéed or stewed, the meaty clam siphon is prized by enthusiasts for its crunchy texture and unique savory flavor. The Alaska farmed geoduck has the advantage of being mostly meat, and less shell than its wild-stock variety. After being planted in a largely safe and optimum environment at the permit sites, the farmed geoduck spends its time growing, instead of producing shell, Morin says. The result is a top-quality product for a ready market. As for freshness of the product shipped live to market, the Alaska Shellfish geoducks can go from harvest to China in the same day. By ensuring the clams get to the processing plant by 4 a.m., the product can make its flight to China within the same 24-hour period. It's a market advantage that has not gone unnoticed by Asian buyers. Morin says he currently has more requests for his product than supply allows.
