Chinese Food?

CGI3...

If sushi can't sell at The Weirs, we ain't gonna be findin' geoduck clams at Hannafords anytime soon. And, uh, I guess you know what these things look like...Right? And they can get 4' long and live 170 years.

Best way to cook a geoduck?...Remove the meat from the shell. Boil for 30seconds, just enough to loosen the skin for removal. Slice very thin. Dip in soy sauce mixed with jalapenos, Thai fish sauce (Nam Pla) and fresh ginger. So it's fundamentally raw...sashimi style. It can also be sauteed, but I don't prefer it that way. Chop sticks are also mandatory!

and add a bit of juice from a squeezed lime or two.

My favorites are Peking Tokyo (has a new name now tho) in Gilford and Green Ginger in Tilton...

I lived in Seattle for years, and they are a strange phallic-lookin animal that I could never bring myself to try. (pronounced goowey-duck, btw) They sell it at the Pike Place Market in Seattle. I saw the 'Dirty Jobs' episode, and they did say how difficult it is to cook properly. Not my thing.

For the thread - I used to love Phu-Jee, but not anymore (and there's nothing closer to me, I live on Water Street). I still love their cashew chicken, but find the service rude, like customers are a nuisance. Imagine that!

I get Chinese food at China Garden in Belmont - yes, I drive all that way when the occasion arises.

Or, for Thai, I love Sala Thai - now Lanna Thai next to Laconia High School. They have a dish called Drunken Noodle that I'm addicted to! (I've gotten my whole office addicted to it!) I haven't tried the new store in Weirs Beach, but they also have drunken noodle. (Not sure why it's called that, btw)
