During my trip to Seattle and Washington State, USA, one of the things I was most looking forward to doing was taking a day trip to Samish Bay, home to Taylor Shellfish Farms. It wasnt too long of a drive, but it was a beautiful drive and well worth it. We pulled into the bay and the shellfish farm mid-morning. Although I knew wed be eating as many oysters as possible, there was something I wasnt sure we were going to have a chance to eat, but I desperately wanted to try it. We were in luck, the had it. Yes, Im talking about a geoduck (pronounced gooey duck. It has to be one of the most bizarre, strange shaped shells of them all - I dont think we need to go into details here. But its truly unique and soon I would find out how delicious it was. You arrive to Samish Oyster Bar and Shellfish Market and you can choose from a dozen of so different types of oysters and they will either shuck them for you or you can shuck them yourself, we chose the latter option. We also got a couple crabs, and of course the geoduck. The kind staff at Taylor Shellfish Farm sliced up our geoduck into sashimi slices, sectioning off the siphon shaft from the body part, both of which were different in taste and texture. They did an amazing job slicing it up. The geoduck was absolutely amazing, so sweet naturally, which a wonderful cartilage like crunch to it. We also had a plate of Pacific Northwest Oysters, all of the varieties which were fantastic and unique. I would highly recommend a day trip up to Samish Bay to eat fresh and amazing local seafood at Taylor Shellfish Farm, from the source - from tide to table Total price for everything - 129. 16 Since Samish Bay is not too far from Bellingham, we continued our drive to Bellingham where my friend Jason took us to a few of his favorite breweries. Melvin Brewing - First we stopped at Melvin Brewing, and the highlight for me was the Thai poutine, something I had never tried before, and it was actually dangerously tasty. Total price for everything - 86. 96 Kulshan Brewing Company - Next we stopped at Kulshan and ate at StrEAT Food Bellingham. Total price for everything - 26 But the highlight for me was undoubtedly the Samish Bay experience, and getting to eat the strange and exotic geoduck delicacy from the source

I have followed the Weins for about 2 years. They are the cutest family ever, but Washington Seafood is not that great and very expensive. Now they are killing Sea Lions because they claim they are to blame for dwindling Salmon population. Best Oysters, Salmon are on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico.

I grew up and live in Seattle. I have never heard of either of the places you went to. The breweries are all new in Bellingham, there used to not be so many. It has become more popular in recent years. I bet you would love Vancouver, Canada. There is a ton of food places you would love.

Watching these videos I come to know that masses all over the world behave in the same way, they smile, they share, they are hospitable but who the hell politicians and terrorists are.

Cancer Magister. the one crab to rule them all. I've had a LOT of crab from different parts of the world, and despite my local guy bias, gotta say Dungeness is the best of the best.

Any marine scientists out there please help me understand why the Geoduck has a tiny shell that doesn't cover even half of its body? I mean what's the point of having a shell?
