Geoducks

/ˈɡiːoʊ.dʌks/ noun

Plural form of geoduck; multiple very large clams of the species Panopea generosa.

Etymology

The plural of geoduck, formed by adding the standard English -s ending to the Lushootseed-derived singular form.

Kelly Says

Commercial geoduck harvesting in British Columbia is so valuable that divers must work in dangerous conditions, making these clams worth more per pound than many seafood items despite their unglamorous appearance.
