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 wasn’t 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 we’d be eating as many oysters as possible, there was something I wasn’t 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, I’m talking about a geoduck (pronounced gooey duck). It has to be one of the most bizarre, strange shaped shells of them all - I don’t think we need to go into details here. But it’s 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!

Jeezus Chr*st! 😂😂😂😂
I love Geoduck. It has a texture in between squid and mussels, and a taste I would describe as a cross between a scallop and a mussel. Not quite as sweet as a Scallop, but a much more… I don't want to say rubbery-texture; more like when you bite into a juicy sausage and you get that pop followed by all the juices. That is the experience of the top part of the clam; the bottom is a bit more chewy, though not rubbery. Definitely something I would recommend, but let's face it, Shellfish are awesome. If the scallop is the Crab meat of the Mullosks then Geoduck would be the Lobster. In my experience it's best if you have a little bit of everything and rotate between them.
Is it just me , or does my boy Mark look toasted 😂
Wait this isn’t Sonny Side??!?.
He hated that brewery place
Does anyone else get really uncomfortable when you can see that Mark doesn't really like the food but he is trying to think of something nice to say about it?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Did you like your food?
Nothing.
Do you want food?
GIANT smile instantly 🤣 your kid is so funny.
Seattle pride 🥳 🎉 come back soon! One day I'll be opening a bar/restaurant with dishes from around the world, each night for a country, region or culture. it's going to take a lot of money and time and being disabled makes it a bit harder but one day 🙂
