Don't get me started on the Sea Fisheries.. anyway, Dave your erm, secret scallop spot... didn't you say it was by the thing by the coast ? You did tell me the EXACT location but I seem to have forgotten it- any chance you can remind me ?!
(Foolish to mention it as you know I'll be trying to twist your arm over the weekend !)
My own personal scalloping experience is finding one in a local bay and cooking it with some venus/artemis clams (Clausinella fasciata / Dosinia exoleta) - very very tasty.
Apparently there are 3 kinds of scallops :
Variegated Scallop (Chlamys varia)
Queen Scallop (Aequipecten opercularis)
Great Scallop (Pecten maximus)
Wanny - I started a thread on bass last year as I was clueless about them then (and now to a degree
) - might be of interest - have a look for "sea bass advice" or something like that. I learnt alot from this forum about bass and landed a few last season (they have been noticabley shy of me so far this season with Charlie landing a 9 pounder, Fabio (our guest spearo) landing 3 at about 3 pounds and one at about 10 pounds....).
Cheers
