Damn, nice score!
I am envious of your delicious stash.
We used to get wild frozen (Alaskan)scallops from a traveling fish truck but they recently got too pricey.
I want to say they were $35/lb, but they are good eating! Traveling fish truck, eh? Hmm...  Yes please....lol https://www.mtseafood.com/

So SO need another freezer before next years event! Ha! I have a first world problem here. Had to pack all that seafood on top of a huge pile of bison in one freezer, and then a lot more in another freezer on top of a bunch of wild hog. I don't even know where all the store bought meats are in the three freezers at this point. I'll figure it out, I'm sure.

You had to get this AFTER the bison tag....
Enjoy. That all looks and sounds really good!
FWIW the bison is almost gone. Been being really picky with it. LOL. A few more packages and I'll have to revert to 14 year old bull bison packages and then revert back to the dang moose. Grins. Glad to hear you guys have enjoyed some of it. Emaciated or not, I am *loving* putting large amounts of it away. Speaking of moose, well, I got lucky again. DM 210 for me this year. Wait, yep, I'm going to need another freezer... Hope all is well with you and the missus, my friend.

Yum! Well done, Mrs. Kamo Gari. Yep, Mrs. KG for the win. Again. I don't care what she tells me -- I'm keeping her. Locked up down in the basement if necessary!

If the "scallops" you're served at a restaurant are perfectly round, think "sting ray" and "biscuit cutter"! One of my friends down on the Florida Gulf coast shared that little tidbit of information with me!

Not sure I can make 80 pounds of scallops disappear in the next 362 days, but we're gonna' find out! I'm jelly. Never been in a position to get sick of scallops due to them being hyper available. I'm confident I could knock them out inside 6 months, ha.

Dude.
I'm pretty sure I could make a couple pounds of them scallops disappear in a big bowl of ceviche. Ate a bunch of their relatives, the hacha (pen shell) that way down in Baja.
Is that fish in the picture the buri? Sure looks tasty too, and knowing the Japanese that's likely sushi/sashimi quality also.
Can you tell I like raw seafood???

Woo! She scored big time! I have a stupid question about scallops. I've bought them frozen at Costco etc. and have pretty much liked them, considering I just pan sear them in butter, with some S & P. They get pretty firm. But we went to, what you would call, an "up and coming", high end, lake country restaurant/bar and the special was scallops (4) on a bed of wild rice for $42. I thought "what the hell, might as well see what scallops are supposed to taste like..." Those things were nasty! Mushy, fishy and just plain awful. I ate one and couldn't do another. The wild rice was good though. Is that the way they are supposed to be???

Sounds like they were old or not store properly.

Sounds like they were old or not store properly. Given Rooster's experience I'd have probably sent them back and asked for chicken. Old, not stored properly, or perhaps some nasty sting ray? Scallops are not supposed to taste fishy. Then again................Rooster's in MN and anything more "flavorful" than walleye or perch bothers some of those Midwesterners.

I get my scallops from Kodiak and they are delicious, no fishy taste at all. I sear them in olive or avocado oil with equal amount of butter after seasoning with salt, pepper and garlic. My wife doesn't care for them but the grandkids go crazy when they find out I'm cooking scallops. As ironbender mentioned, they should be sweet and slightly firm. JMHO

Nice gift Leighton!
Have had scallops prepared in many different ways. But the best I ever ate were eaten raw, right from the shell, after having just pried them off their rock, seawater still dripping off my wetsuit.
