Never see the clam thing...monkfish however, I understand are very good. I generally prefer fish over bi-valve moluscs, so I'd go with the monkfish.

I've eaten the great Northwestern geoduck, and it is good.

The monkey fish is beating the big clam, 4 - 1

Doesn't the monkfish look interesting?
Kind of "missing link"-y. Looks almost reptilian...this guy looks like the big, mean cousin of the mudskipper...I hope to cook one someday...not the mudskipper, the fish...although maybe...

Mudskipper is a fish. Just a little one that looks and acts like a frog.

Oh yeah, I didn't mean the 'skipper was reptilian, just that the big thing kinda looks it...
All the same, theyre both awesome...looking at the monkfish I can't help but wonder if the two are somehow related...and if the monkfish might be able to do the same...what a beast.

Goodness gracious me. That is one butt-ugly waking nightmare of a delicious fish dish.
