Great diving scenes, and what a bounty! The grilling looked delicious. And Hannah is sublime. Awesome vid, Daniel: you’re living the dream! Cheers from NYC.
I am so happy you and Hanna harvested only what you needed to provide yourself with a good meal. It is so important to not over harvest any resource so there is more for another day and another generation. Bless you kids!
Thanks mate! Took me a few goes for that shot with the drone! Sound was the real deal I recorded that afternoon by the BBQ. Appreciate you noticing the details 👌👌👌
Not to mention keeping all the juicy goodness with the fish and not intermixing with the coals. But hey, brilliant channel! Loooove it! Good work, plz keep it coming! 😁
First visit to your channel, Daniel. I really like your attitude to fishing for what you need NOT what you can. Great footage in the cold waters of Scotland. Thanks for sharing :-)
Many years ago I used to go up to Oban diving, which is lower down than where you are on the west coast of Scotland we would at the end of a deep dive have a second dive collect scallops a little butter and white wine in it's shell over heat you can't beat it. Oban is where the ferries leave to the Various islands a very interesting and beautiful part of Scotland would recommend a visit even if not diving.
Awesome vid! First time viewer, and now fan and subscriber. The footage was so clear, and those jumbo's were still hard to see, thanks for pointing them out, I live on Oahu and never seen them in the wild before, looks pretty deep, you got some good lungs my man. The grilled treasures had my mouth watering big time, what a nice dinner with that delicious looking fish too! The take what you need etiquette you displayed is pure gold, God bless you👍🍻
Oh man they r huge compared to the scallops we used to collect n Clearwater Fl hiding n the grass flats up in anchlote key. And I am sure just as delicious. Happy hunting!
Wow, I really didnt know where scallops came from until now! Great video, great scenery, and amazing food! Cheers from El Paso,Texas!...new subscriber!!!
Wow can’t wait we’re moving to Aberdeen,been over the west to Isle of Skye Oban,ate all the fish we caught out the sea into the grill,absolute nosh of the day,
Anyone thinking of picking random spots in Scotland they haven't dived before needs to be aware that the tidal currents in places can be very strong whilst the surface water appears flat calm and inviting. Plenty of divers, kayakers, fishermen get into trouble where we stay.
Well... There are videos on yt about great whites off the west coast but no definite sightings. I suspect they are here after all the water is warmer here than it is in South Africa which is famous for great whites due to the seal colonies. We have about 40000 seals on the west coast so there is plenty of food for them.
@@DanielMann I spent many years diving commercially for scallops,all over the west coast of Scotland and Western isles,never saw or heard of great whites,but have rarely seen orcas,mako,thresher and basking sharks,although none showed any interest…..lots of humpback whales,pilot whales,northern bottle nose whales and dolphins and porpoise by the thousands!still wary of orcas though! Great video btw,took me back! Cheers matey!👌🏴 it was a great way to make a living.
I love cooking seafood in scallop shells. Unfortunately, living inland and NOT at the shore, I had to purchase mine in a specialty store and was horrified at the price for 8 half shells. They do make a lovely presentation, though.
I'm sure others have mentioned this, but you guys seem really professional as far as diving, so it was a real surprise to me to see that you didn't oil the grates on the grill before you placed the pollock on. One of the tastiest parts of a fish is it's skin. Now while I understand that taste is subjective, I doubt you would have left the skin on had you disliked it, and furthermore not only was some of the skin lost by sticking to the grates, but some of the flesh was lost as well. And considering you already made several comments about how small it was too begin with, you really didn't have a lot to play with as far as losing any of the good bits due to careless cooking. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the video. It's always great to watch divers five, catch, and even eat fresh sea life. I've noticed over the years watching these types of videos is that people who go out and expend energy collecting/capturing their own food and communing with nature are almost always good-natured people, with good attitudes, and constant smiles on their faces. I can really appreciate watching this as it's a positive experience to watch, especially for someone like me who is disabled and unable to do these types of things IRL. Thanks to you and your (wife?) for making and posting this video! It's always nice to get warm fuzzies while watching a video, so I appreciate the effort of you making and uploading this vid! ☺️ Take care. I will continue watching your channel and hopefully there are Many more vids like these! Liked and subbed! ♥️✌️
Enjoyed the video and as a Scot, I seriously miss the place. One small criticism, I don't recall you talking about scallop size, and I think some of the ones you collected looked a bit on the small side. When we dive in Northern Ireland we only pick the ones about the size of the larger part of the palm of your hand. Keep up the good work.
Hey. Im based in NI and beggining to spear. Im work in biodiversity conservation (skates and the like) so appreciate your comment regarding sizes etc. Are you still based here? Would be great to go together in the future.
I don’t remember how I landed on your channel but I am glad I did. Great video. Very satisfying watching you guys from beginning to the end. Love the cooking part, making my mouth watering.
Excellent video. I bet the cold water in Scotland makes those scallops delicious. I'm out in Southern California. Although we have plenty of aquatic life and shell fish, we have to be careful about timing. Your neighborhood looks great and very inviting. Keep posting great videos. Love it.
Seasonings are only for seafood that doesn't have much flavor. For scallops all you use is butter or olive oil, garlic, salt and white pepper. Sometimes I flour them before pan-frying.
this is how I keep the fish from not sticking to the grill, I always use a clean to the metal grill and keep the grill of the bbq and cold and make sure the grill has lots of oil and put some on the fish too ,,,put the grill back into the bbq when ready to put fish on, so the fish don't stick and the oil don't burn off, but all and of,,,it looks amazing delicius, good job, I love the fact that you take what you need and not what you can.
That area you have plundered was seeded by locals and has a 6 scallop bag limit. - hopefully commercial divers won't see this and empty the spot now as it's v easily identifiable in the vid.
@@ikryytt919 nah, it's not illegal it just doesn't win you many friends! It's not obvious either as it's not advertised but rich spots right in front of houses (as in this spot) can be a good clue 😉
Closest I've had to that was after marinating in lemon juice for a day....... Just think how much was eaten by us in the same way we'd watched various animals eat their prey. I mean...... what ever possessed anyone (other than starvation) to open an oyster shell and be immediately compelled to gobble that down? Living on Chesapeake Bay in my few+a couple decades, I don't recall eating "bay scallops" that were authentically scallops...... I've stood in Cape Charles marsh mud eating oysters and clams seconds after catching them (that's fresh as it gets), and I recall houses with signs advertising scallops, but never checked them out...... bay scallops are allegedly wings of skates and rays punched out with a cookie-cutter type device. This video is pretty provocative in terms of wishing I could go there for the real thing. Scallop and shrimp scampi's a favorite.
Great video. Tip. Use newspaper soaken wet wrap fish in it .put on bbq for 10mins.when you unwrap newspaper skin comes off the fish and it's perfectly cooked

Being able to catch your own food and then proceed to cook it WELL is one of life's greatest pleasures
So glad they have a good philosophy of only taking what they need.

No overdramatized click bait thumbnails👍🏻

Nice video Dan! The soundscape with the drone and fire was spot on loved the spiral down with the drone, also nice implementation of the VFX

Full respect!!! Take as much as you need, not as much as you can. Couldn’t agree more!!!
did he say that in the video? lol

how many do you need ? the bag was totally cram packed ?
@@stevejames7305 you're right. Take as much as you need and the bag was packed,! Lol
@@stevejames7305 as long as they could actually eat them all. nothing wrong with the full bag. not like cleaning up the ocean then wasted the catches.
I love the tribute to Tim about how good he is at shooting fish Tim is an amazing dude so
Great video mate. Always a pleasure to watch. Keep them coming!
Nothing like harvesting the food you want and cooking it and eating right there... complete satisfaction mate!
For scallops that fresh, simple butter and garlic will be delicious !🤤🤤
You all are blessed abundantly! Love that "you take only what you need"!
Food Envy on that one - love a scallop or three! Always a on point mate
Thank you for sharing your scallops cleaning techniques. Much love from Canada 🇨🇦.
Maybe you can try wrapping the fish in tin foil, it will be much tenderer.：）
And it will also not stick to the grill.
Not to mention keeping all the juicy goodness with the fish and not intermixing with the coals. But hey, brilliant channel! Loooove it! Good work, plz keep it coming! 😁
Aluminium is toxic..just saying
Whats Up yes, but cooking in properly made aluminium cookware and with foil isn’t toxic, that was a myth
WOW... I totally LOVED your upload. Many thanks! 😊♥️😊
Omg those scallops were huge and the way you cooked them, mmmmmm so delicious 😋😋😋😋😋🙂

Cheers Stuart and welcome aboard!
did you notice the bag load she was carrying ? it was cram packed to the lilt
Yes it looks delicious. I've never had them but I would love to try them
Wrap your pollock in parchment paper (or even newspaper), dunk in water, place on grill. Will steam inside paper.
Friends, Family & BBQ! Great vid. Those Scallops looked DELICIOUS!

It's great watching you prepare and cook the catch. Very beautifully presented.
Im going spearfishing soon and after watching this i am excited

Looks beautiful
One of my favourite foods, seafood in general, but scallops, bosh job done.

Love this adventure of yours love watching it thank you for sharing
Ooh...I never really like scallops, but this made me think otherwise. Now I'm craving some. ❤
Scallops are the absolutely the best seafood. Butter,wine and garlic...
Tony Kiefer disagree, their meat isn’t as sweet as Alaskan king crab or lobster
I cannot believe you don't have more subscribers with how great your videos are. I want to live your life, sir!
scallops and fresh pollock and you being an Aussie had sausages with them
and burnt at that
I like your moto,,,,take what you need not what you can,,,a lesson to learn...great video.

This would be on my bucket list - it looks so fun.
Looks delicious! But, to avoid that scrumptious pollack flesh from getting stuck on the grill, use aluminum foil to wrap it in. Yum!
Spent lots of time up at scarrpa flow..If not wreck diving we were scalloping.Now back in nz and reminiscing with this clip.
Oh my gosh this makes me hungry after dinner.. Dying to get some Melb scallops.. Soon as the opportunity arises
Great shots, Great Food, great Video. Very nice Dan.
Great as always mate, good feed there! That wetsuit fit Hanna like a wet paper bag 😂😂 come on Guliano 🤞🤞🤞
Very nice video! And amazing with all the scallops
Such a great watch man! The scallops look unreal
Our sea life in New Brunswick, Canada is similar to Scotland's. I already getting excited about scallop diving soon.
What's up with the seriously burned sausages my friend? Left them on a bit too long

What a cool vibe, thanks for sharing.
Scallops wrapped in bacon, skewered. Served with lemon and seafood sauce....😊🇨🇦

Try scallops raw. The best sea food I ever put into my mouth was the day I chose to eat one prior to cooking it. Better then lobster!
