Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some live scallops (i.e. still in the shell) in Toronto?

i have also found them at st lawrence market. they are small, bay scallop sized for around $6.99/lb, but they are the sweetest scallops you have ever tasted. if you are looking on the professional side, taro's fish sells some 10/20 size. i think they were around $3.50 per peice. the shells are about the size of your hand.

hope this helps.

Try Starfish restaurant on Adelaide (416-366-7827). Patrick McMurray has "take-out" of shucked or unshucked oysters and scallops.

PastryBoy,

you can have them flown in to you from LobsterMan in Vancouver. It is the only reliable source, I was in Toronto for 4 years and really missed these - finally had to move back out west!

Let me know if I can help
