At S&S looking at the seafood display...There I see "Bay Scallops" $5.99/#... The lady behind the counter says...do you want some scallops? "uhhhhh no I normally catch my own but @ 5.99 I think I may start buying them, What bay did they come from?" I asked.... She said they were previously frozen and from China.

China? Bay scallops? WTF?

Previously frozen I said? She replied...yes, thawed for your convienence ....I laughed...

Another lady next to me said....they have local ones at the fishmarket for $30/#...I said "that is more like it." I can't imagine digging and sh#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g a # of scallops for 5.99- the 100% marketup the store puts on them.

I was interested in tasting them raw but my wife dragged me away....have any of you tasted $5.99 scallops from China? Are they any good at all?
