goeduck icecream

Wow, who would have thought geoduck icecream (pronounced goo-ee duck) would be such a hit?  Olympic Mountain icecream, a chef and my mom's shop, kayaks & Kones in Allyn WA,  worked together to produce 2 different geoduck icecreams, one with a lemon base and one with a lime base, for the geoduck festival and they were a hit.  They sold so much Olympic Mountain dairy had to work overnight to make another batch for the second day of the festival!  Reviews vary from "what sick person thought that up" to "love it" and everywhere in between.  Some say it leaves a unique aftertaste, personally I am not a seafood person, so I don't anticipate trying it, but my husband can't wait.  My mom's shop is now "Kayaks & Kones-home of geoduck icecream!  I think it started out as fun, but it looks like a genious marketing strategy because her business was incredible the last 2 days.  Yeah Mom!  Looks like Bob and I will be heading up there on the 4th of July to help out, we expect it to be another big day!  If you have never seen a geoduck google it, they are huge, weird looking clams.
