Out diving last weekend on the boat and we ended up finding some scattered and lost scallops that drifted away from their bed most likely in a winter storm. Scallops are great raw right out of the shell so grabbing a few when the opportunity presents itself is always a treat and worth the grab for a perfect snack from the salt. The scallops will pop a pucker, open up and look at you with the hundreds of eyes lining the edge of the shell and every so often you’ll find a little fish inside.

Some diving in San Diego during spring.

On Friday, April 11th 2025, Boston had a front row seat to the irreversible and devastating damage of a marine catastrophe. In the early hours just after sunrise Fishing Vessel Eileen Rita (of New England Marine Inc.), a scalloper out of New Bedford ran around on Green Island and sank in Hypocrite Channel, just outside of the Boston inner harbor.
