I worked on a scalloping boat one summer after I got out of high school. They tried to pay us half our check in crack. Believe it or not a bunch of the guys were super happy about that.
The coolest thing I learned when diving for scallops is the fact they can swim by clapping. They are wicked tasty when eaten fresh like this too! Nice one 😀
When I worked in Chicago as an apprentice cook. We’d get these scallops so fresh. They’d fly them in the prep guys clean them. We’d use them that day. I remember the sauté cook cooking one during service it jumped almost two feet in the air he caught it put it back in the pan.
Me too. I also just ate. But I ate sea scallops. And for the first time in about 20 attempts I finally succeeded in searing them and got a nice caramelization. I dried them on paper towels for about 3 hours before cooking. Previously I have not dried them enough and the water prevented the caramelization. I think I found my technique.
There is NO better seafood than a raw scallop straight from the shell. They are so tender and sweet it's unbelievable! I've been forever ruined for store bought or restaraunt scallops.
Swordfish tacos for breakfast, fish just caught - THE BEST! We’d grab 2…. DOZEN!! Every morning they were lucky enough to catch one and the 5 of use would be good until supper. Tried to recreate them at home…. 😫😭🤢. Even flash frozen right on the boat it’s not even close. It loses that natural sweetness.
I'm the same way with store-bought or restaurant lobster tail. Nothing beats catching it yourself and on your plate within that same hour. Now I just won't eat it.
@@Rich-ni2ol Agreed! Grew up on fresh spiny lobster. Hard to even find in Florida restaraunts. Never took a liking to Maine lobster but haven't had it fresh caught so.....
That's an Atlantic deepsea scallop; different kinds. White, red and white stripes, mud colored. If the two halves are different sizes, that's a Cockle.
Scallops are f'n delicious!!! A little butter and garlic in a skillet, lightly cook until firm and fluffy, add some tequila and flame up...arrange on plate and drizzle some lime over the top...hush puppies on the side...OH YEAH!!!
I had no idea that is what they looked like in the shell! That is crazy. What else is crazy is how good they are! No fishy taste at all! (I know I know - “why would it have a fishy taste, they are not a fish!) Well sometimes crab has a fishy taste 🤷 So how do you tell the difference between clams and scallops?! And How do you only catch scallops and not clams and vise versa?!?! I just picture two guys in a boat going out to catch scallops and a 1/3rd of the day in “Hey Jim should we just stop trying for scallops and start keeping these clams? We’ll just tell everyone we changed our minds and decided to go for clams instead?! Sounds good Johnny!
I'll take about 12 of them at that size, grilled on the BBQ pit with some butter and garlic for the scalloped to sizzle in while it's coming in its own shell.
Maybe some U8s? I've cooked hundreds of thousands of scallops in my day. Most restaurants when they wanna go big order the U10s these are a little bigger
I have 100% always thought scallops were a made-up thing. Like some food company made them up saying they came from the ocean just to sell to the public. Now I know they are real. I'm 40 years old by the way
Usually if you're in the mainland you're actually eating stingray wings cut with a circular cookie cutter.. same taste and same consistency, much cheaper... Keeps better over ice
I worked at a seafood restaurant called Rusty Scupper in Northern Virginia, Tysons Corner. They used to get the biggest scallops this size and bigger. Early 1980s
Outside on the barbeque...my wife was cheesed at me the last time I cooked them in the pan in the kitchen. "The smell...the SMELL"! She was right...I got up for work the next morning and the reek was still on. A seafood smell THAT strong before breakfast? No bueno.
Live here in Maine, many family and friends scallop,I've seen em come in pink orange white and off colors, and had a buddy of mine give 30 pounds of huge scallops size of silver dollars
wow i’ve eaten scallops before but never knew what it actually looked like when u pull it out the water. neat
theres different types of scallops
@@boogieheadstf that got to do with him seeing his first scallop be shucked open 💀
@@getspun6961 Idk. why do you talk like a black ghetto rapper?
It’s a species of clam. Aka water filters
@@getspun6961I mean one would guess if there’s more then one it might not be the one he’s eating you have a big brain buddy

Late 80s early 90s was a wild fuckn ride🤣🤣🤣
How American is that?
☮️🍃
LMFAO that's great
Lol the American way....crack is just too good of a drug....never do it , not even just to try it out
You definitely talking about virginia lol
Thanks for showing this. I knew what scallops were, but never seen one in a shell.
Do you live under a rock
@@MuddyBubby😊
You should look up how they swim through the water
@@MuddyBubby yeah. Trying to avoid a$$holes like you
Serious....

@@AmazingBlaze0pressed for no reason 😂
i learned that from spongebob
I swim by clapping too, except the clapping is my butt cheeks
Don't eat filter fish.
I used to eat them right out of the ocean when I was on a shrimp boat. Sweet and salty 😋
I haven't been on a shrimp boat but I have been on a real big boat before.

Big scallops are getting so rare I almost never see them anymore, hold on a second while I kill it.
Delicious, scallops are heavenly 😊
I heard some scallops before taking the wife home leads to a tremendous bed experience
@@deadplayaDepends on how strong your stomach is muwahaha
O, you didn't mean THAT.
Love how he didnt know to compare it then just proceeded to take next thing to him, gives me hella dad vibes hahaha
He’s like yeah everyone knows about the size of the sport cap water bottles
Yessir! Love good scallops!!
Now I'm hungry and I just ate.

He probably does but I know it can't be easy
@@elalfajefe7 true.
Scallop fishing? Youver clearly never wirked 100 +hour work weeks 😂
Get scallops all the time from my father inlaws boat.... cook up some bacon fry scallops in same pan with black pudding best breakfast ever🤤👍🏴
Amazing to see it natural

Reminds me of fishing with pops. Would come across these, eat one or 2 on spot and take a few back to camp and cook em.
I always forget how AMAZING scallops are until I eat them again and then fall in love all over!! Also love their cousin that is a potato
I wish I could work on a boat every day that would be freaking awesome
Gotta love those Canadians
First time seeing scallop in the shell. Thanks
100% thought they looked different. This is an awesome video. Should have ate it at the end!
Can eat raw ?
@@Popcorxapparently

@@Popcorx😂 duh only when fresh out of shell like a oyster
I love Kyle's "waiting for his friend to start filming" face before he starts talking
Never seen a bay scallop with a smooth shell.
It's not a bay scallop. It is a sea scallop that was in a bay I guess.
I will be 26 this month, what a great present. Seeing a scallop still in the shell has solved so many questions for me. Thank you
That looks SOO good!
Bro was shakin like he needed a drink
Probably was out since 3 or 4am and had drank 6 pots of coffee
That’s a gargantuan meal - double cheese - thanks for sharing.
I love coquille, knew they were mollusks but not what they looked like. Tbh the ones we had were about this size
Used to having that big at Long John Silver's in the 80s
He said..."imma take my time on these" and cuts it open in .2 seconds!😂
Bacon wrapped and put on skewers cooked on my grill over oak !♥️🙏😊
Try it over cherry, apple or mesquite, also try smoking them, with a lime and butter glaze...or a rum and butter glaze...bon appetit!❤
That's the way I like them too!
@@pattyrutledge1433 st.Petersburg , Florida god bless . 🙏♥️🐟
I would rather eat them raw and enjoy the bacon later
@@OctopusH2O you never had mine !!!!!!😂♥️🐟🙏
Hey Kyle how often you find one of those
Kyle : It's one in a billion.........Let's kill it.
You guys should distribute to Miyabi's😅😂 I wouldn't feel so ripped off
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel ya
I’ve never seen them smaller. They taste amazing if you eat them raw after shucking. It tastes like candy….
Wouldnt they still be alive ??
@@zoezzzarko1117 yes…alive is the best, the taste changes after they die.
@@1DVSB oh boy... do they move in your mouth? I dont think i could handle THAT ha
@@zoezzzarko1117 no is just the meat. Fun fact they swim like fish and can be caught on rod and reel.
@@1DVSB whatttt? Reallyyyyy?? 😲😲😲😲😲😳
I love herb crusted scallops with wasabi butter cream sauce from my local restaurant 🤤
Pink scallops are the best!!
Pink scallop mean they are sick and should never be eaten
"i thought it would be bigger than that" man i feel that one.
You can eat it like that. Pinch of salt and dash of tobasco😋👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I’m from the south and the way they say SCALLOP is killing me😂😂😂
That’s a biggun alright
Looks like he's been on good gear. 😊
No it's not it's standard
@@MargotDobbie I was referring to the scallop, which is bigger than what I have seen down here in the south. 👍😁
Dude was in his own world when the video first starts 😂
I was today years old when I found out where scallops come from!
Scallops are f'n delicious!!! A little butter and garlic in a skillet, lightly cook until firm and fluffy, add some tequila and flame up...arrange on plate and drizzle some lime over the top...hush puppies on the side...OH YEAH!!!
Ooh that's awesome, looks tasty!!
That's NOT a bay scallop, that is a sea scallop! The size and smooth shell are dead giveaways.
My mouth is watering now.
Love how he just pulls off everything but the actual scallop, what a pro
I knew they were seafood of some sort. Honestly THAT is not even close to what i imagined they looked like live.
How slow are you?
I had no idea that is what they looked like in the shell! That is crazy.
What else is crazy is how good they are! No fishy taste at all! (I know I know - “why would it have a fishy taste, they are not a fish!)

lemon juice and tobasco 👌🏻
How do people look at that and think Tasty 😅
Because they've tried it.
First people to try then were probably just very hungry then bam! A great surprise.
Could say that about a lot of things. Once you try it enlightenment follows.
The 1st time I eat Scallops my hunger level went, down.
Save them then sell them to big resuturans they will probbaly give good cash
I'll take about 12 of them at that size, grilled on the BBQ pit with some butter and garlic for the scalloped to sizzle in while it's coming in its own shell.
Do you know how to tell fake scallops from real scallops? The price will tell you.
Fake ones made of type of shark
@@gourp and I also heard stingrays also.
That scallop probably tastes amazing
Someone had better have eaten that!
Obviously.. you can eat them raw right out of the water
@@whitewater1250with just lemon
That’s funny as fuck I was like why does Kyle look so damn familiar and I forget that he helps Frank out all the time with my grandfather😂
Beautiful. Be safe.
These are the hard working types of men. Rough guys.
Got butter?
My favorite jumbo bay scallops seared in butter and a med-rare ribeye and asparagus on the Charcoal grill
Ready to eat.....
You can eat these raw?
@@patrickskehill5589 hence the comment....
@@patrickskehill5589 yes but sandy, rince off well. But best cooked and seared in butter. One of my favorites
@@danshroder9389dude 🥩 and scalloped cooked like you just said bro
@@joeellis4013 surf & turf.

I’ll bet that was delicious
I was so waiting for the guy in the background to say that's what she said 🤣 😂
That’s a thing of beauty
I was lucky enough to have friend who had scallop boat and have done this and right in a pan with butter , shell to pan untouchable
Oh my god that looks amazing😍
The first person to eat these had to have been dying of starvation
That shuck brought a tear
That's a big damn scallop
Those tastes so f****** good. Get 10 or 15 more of those and you've got a meal
I was a commercial scallop fisherman in the 80s we used to sneak over the Canadian line and get gafers coming in with 30 to 40 thousand pounds
whats a gafer ?
I love scallops, never knew what they looked like alive! Thx for sharing 😊
That scallop made my mouth water just in the video wow 😮
Maybe some U8s? I've cooked hundreds of thousands of scallops in my day. Most restaurants when they wanna go big order the U10s these are a little bigger
That dude is geeked tf out
Yeah that's what I thought his hands are vibrating 😆
Во Владивостоке служил. Меняли их и огурец морской на креветок( чилимы ). У водолазов.
POLAND SPRING ! Best tasting water ever!!!! Gosh I miss the east coast 😢
There's a whole lotta people commenting "looks delicious" "scallops are amazing" etc.. uh no it looks like a raw testical served in a shell.

Used to scallop all the time! Just walking around in shallow water with a flashlight and bag picking em off the rocks!
