Bacon?? Wrap them up in pork roll 🤣

Beware the Sunday special!  That’s always old stock getting ready to expire, hence the bacon wrap. Age old trick to move aging food in stores.

Right.  Any scallops other than day scallops have been treated with some kind of preservative that leaves a bleachy taste that is impossible to get rid of and just ruins the enjoyment because instead of sweetness you get bleach.

If scallops taste/feel rubbery they have been overlooked.

I grew up on a small estuary in England and the scallops that we would get from the boats were huge and so sweet that when I was a kid I did not like them.

After ordering them at restaurants here in NJ and paying top dollar for bleach flavored scallops  or bay scallops I honestly gave up.  Occasionally see day scallops and I snap them up when I do.

I wish I knew of a reliable and consistent source for them here in NJ Open to suggestions actually...

At what time do they tend to come in?  If dependent on tide then at what point in the tide can I expect them?  Buying them right off of the boats is how I would get them as a boy with my dad - as fresh as they get then.
