       Anamika, you've got it!
       
       These are geoduck (pronounced "gooey duck") clams.

             I saw it for the first time on an episode of Top Chef Masters a month ago, where they had to cook exotic items like this.
             
             None of them wanted to use it.

    No doubt. Small clams can be tough enough to cook w/out getting rubbery. Usually anything larger than a cherrystone/chowder clam is not even used for soup. Can imagine those folks looking at a four pound clam and hesitating.
