Scalloping



Okay so I don't know if any of ya'll have heard of scalloping before...but it's something my family does every year in the Gulf of Mexico and it's amazing. If you don't know what a scallop is, look at the Shell Gas Station sign and thats what it is. You go out into 4 or 5 foot deep water and you have a snorkel and a mesh bag. You float on top of the water and when you see a scallop, you dive down, pinch it closed and put it inside the mesh bag. It's quite an exciting process lol. I caught 92 this past time which is a record for me because last year I only got like 18!! Anyways...my family and i go to a little town called Steinhatchee, FL up in the panhandle and we share this house with a guy my dad works with. And they have this really nice boat we go out on and we catch our scallops. The cleaning process of these things is disgusting though. No lie. It's nasty lol. You have to pry the shell open, then get all this nasty stuff thats living inside of it out, then scoop the muscle out (cause thats the part you eat) and then you either sautee them or fry them. They are soo delicious. I look forward to them every year. And I hate most seafood, so that's really saying something.
