A More Sustainable Adventure

Sustainable Shellfish Aquaculture: My Journey to Taylor Shellfish in Samish Bay

By letter2self on January 7, 2024



UC Davis Aquaculture searches for giant geoduck clams and Sustainable Shellfish Aquaculture. I visited the famous Taylor Shellfish Farms in Samish Bay Washington, which is also an aquaculture tourist destination to eat fresh seafood while observing Sustainable seafood mariculture in action. At this location the oysters and clams are farmed using various aquaculture methods for growing shellfish. Farming geoduck is done by placing small juvenile clams in substrate surrounded by a PVC pipe. Around two years of age the pipes are removed. The pipes protect the clams from predation as they get larger and burrow deeper into the shellfish bed. We also had the opportunity to inspects Japanese Pacific oysters, blue mussels, Manilla clams, razor clams and of course Geoduck clams.

In this video I was given a cooking tutorial by William who shared with me his geoduck recipe for for geoduck sashimi and showed me how to clean and cook geoduck clams. The Giant Goeduck clams that were live geoduck harvested that day and were beautiful. You can find more about the Taylor family and their history of sustainable aquaculture farming oysters and giant clams in Washington on the Taylor Shellfish Farms website https://www.taylorshellfishfarms.com/.
