I prefer to eat it raw and sliced thin - this is how I've usually seen it served in American seafood bars. I've also had it poached or sauteed, which is how I've seen it prepared in Chinese restaurants, but I feel the additional sauces tend to distract from the taste.
Geoduck has the chewy texture of a clam, but has none of the metallic taste. When eaten raw, there's also a little crunchiness to it. I'd compare the flavor and texture more closely to a very sweet lobster tail with a hint of clean-tasting clam juice.
