Scallop season opened on November 1, but for some ancient bylaw, the guys were not allowed to go on Sunday, so it officially started Monday. This once was a huge money maker around these parts, but through shifts in tides, sands, etc, it has been pretty weak for about 20 years. For whatever reason, this is the year it has turned around. So I introduce you to the scallop shanty where one opens scallops.
This is what scallops look like.
This is what they look like when the shell is opened. Evidently they have muscle and guts around the scallop that one has to peel off.
Matt is showing the girls and his nephew the fine art of opening the scallops in a very cramped scallop shanty.
K shows me the cool way to open them.
B found a crabby in one of hers.
Remember
Where's Waldo? I made
Where's Gretel?
And here it is, the fruits of their labor.
For this little bag here, a fisherman would get about $20 to sell it to a fish market. You, as the consumer, would have to pay about $50 for this amount. Unfair? Yeah, I think so. Place your wholesale orders now!
