Do you want to know what else you can do with geoduck besides eating it in raw form? 

Raw isn’t for everyone—therefore, Chef Andrew Zimmern is back with Fathom and has whipped up a super quick and easy meal that most individuals can enjoy. 

This geoduck clam stir fry is an obvious twist on the traditional stir fry. Twists, in an extraordinary way, are what Zimmern is all about. We know him from Bizarre Foods, and the geoduck can definitely be considered bizarre—but it doesn’t taste odd! It tastes sweet and fantastic. 

Zimmern’s most recent geoduck video on his YouTube channel features one farmed and two wild geoducks from Fathom Seafood, which anyone can order with a click of a button on their website. They are live and fresh and ready to hit your doorstep within a day. 

Before you start cooking with geoduck, make sure you properly clean and prep the meat. Zimmern has you covered on that as well.

• 1-2 Geoduck Clam
• 1 Scallion
• 2 oz Ginger
• Salt
• Sugar
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 tbsp fermented chili bean paste

• Cut scallions into 1 to 2-in pieces
• Dice scallions for later use
• Thinly slice pieces of ginger

Directions

1. Add a thin drizzle of peanut oil to a heated wok to coat the bottom thoroughly

3. Seconds later add in geoduck meat and scallion pieces and allow them to sear
4. Sprinkle with salt and sugar
5. Start tossing everything in the wok for about a minute (cook to preference; Chef Zimmern prefers his geoduck medium-rare)

Tips From Chef Zimmern for a delicious stir fry

1. Scorch your aromatics first
