It sad that we can't buy them straight off the boat. Instead all the good looking ones go overseas or to the restaurants and we get second best. Year ago my parents used to buy big sacks of scallops straight from the boat then we would have a day of splitting them open ready to cook or freeze. Oh how things change.

I remember doing the same thing with a huge bucketload of scampi fresh off the fishing boats in Germany whilst we were there during school holidays. We  boiled them all up and it was the kids' job to peel them. The freshness of everything was amazing and  you'd end up eating half of them yourself as they were so sweet and delicious!
