there was the time I was tasked with shucking 20 dozen day-boat scallops from Maine, for an event. While easy to shuck, I thought If I ever see another scallop in its shell, I'll scream! (HEARD )== I cleaned just twenty today and I will never do that again.
Note in the lower left assorted tiny fish, crabs, etc. These are all part of the scallop diet, at least from where this batch came.
