Sandman,

IMHO they aren't good for anything but filler in stuffing or in chowder. I once did a presentation on eelgrass in CT and the local DEP biologist told me that those Chinese scallops were started from seed scallops from Niantic, CT.

You can't beat native bay scallops that haven't been tainted by soaking them in chemicals...same with ocean scallops -- make mine "top of the pile" and dry.

ProfessorM, my grandma hailed from Nova Scotia where my great grandfather ran a lobster boat and a tannery, I'll have to make the trip...if only for the scallops.

Mike

Only 4 or 5 years ago you could find really nice scallops from the Georges Bank as S&S for 3.99.

Even now the local fish market has excellent quality ones for 12 bucks or so...a bit more for the smaller New Bedford scallops...well worth the money.

Most all of the shrimp you see is frozen from Asia...but shrimp doesn't mind being frozen at all. That being said I'll pay the 16 bucks a pound for fresh gulf shrimp when it's around.

Anyone know where I can get fresh shrimp or prawns with the heads on?
