1/4 cup
Lemon
1, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the geoduck clam under running water, ensuring all sand and debris are removed. A soft brush may be used for stubborn spots.
  2. Once cleaned, carefully remove the shell and siphon from the geoduck clam. Discard the shell, keeping only the meat for sashimi.
  3. Using a very sharp knife, slice the geoduck into thin, even pieces, about 1/8 inch thick. This thickness ensures a tender bite and enhances the overall experience.
  4. Artfully arrange the thin slices of geoduck on a chilled plate, creating an appealing presentation. For added elegance, consider fanning out the slices.
  5. Garnish the sashimi with fresh lemon wedges, allowing guests to squeeze lemon juice over the geoduck to enhance its natural sweetness.
  6. Serve the sashimi alongside a small bowl of soy sauce and a dollop of wasabi for dipping. Encourage guests to mix the wasabi into the soy sauce for a flavorful experience.
