Yep, same here. As mentioned, locally we have fisheries for both bay and sea scallops. A few pics of both types from local outings. First couple of pics are with friends who dive recreationally for both lobsters and scallops. Here's a good sized one, but some get significantly larger.

I don't dive, so I just acted as boat tender in board that day, trying to hook a bluefish or bass while on top. I shucked too. Sadly, some of the catch brought up were 'lost overboard' while the lads were back down poking around on the bottom. wink
