Geoduck - $100–150/lb in China (called "elephant trunk clam") fishwatch.gov/seafood_profiles/species/clams/species_pages/geoduck_farmed.htm The name geoduck (“gooey-duck”) comes from a Native American word meaning “dig deep.” This is fitting because geoducks are the world’s largest burrowing clam species, with a shell up to 8 inches and a siphon of up to 3 feet. Because they grow so large, they cannot fit inside their shell like other clams—making them look exceptionally odd. Geoducks burrow deep in the sediment, so harvesting them is a difficult task that has also created a fun recreational industry.
