A week or three ago when the first scallop draggers moved to Kodiak they had not developed a market and you could buy them off the boat for a very reasonable price. We always sent a couple redheads down to the dock to ensure a better price. It worked.
It was amazing how huge the scallops were! Some were simply stunning. But they all ate the same. Literal dinner-plate-sized monsters.
More than a few times a five pound bag disappeared after a skinny dip in shoyu and wasabi followed by a sprint in front of spirits.... but in a three-way with just the bag, and a couple pervs.
