Geoduck (pronounced "gooey duck") have a subtle sweet flavor and wonderful savory crunchy texture. Both the belly meat and siphon can be used in a multitude of applications. At our oyster bar in San Francisco, Chef Abel Padilla, utilizes the entire animal with his geoduck belly fritters and siphon ceviche!

Preparation
- With the reserved siphon meat from the recipe above, slice the siphon meat in super-thin strips. You want to cut the meat at an angle so it gets almost paper-thin.
- In a small bowl, toss the geoduck meat, sliced red onions, and lime juice. Let sit for 3-4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the Calabrian Chili sauce. With an immersion blender, blend the chilis, onion, celery, and garlic until smooth.
- Add a few tablespoons of the Calabrian chili sauce to the geoduck mixture (add more if you want to turn the heat up!) and mix until combined.
- Spoon the ceviche mixture into a cleaned geoduck shell, top with a drizzle of the agrumato oil, a pinch or 2 of flake salt, and some of the micro greens. Enjoy!
