I bought some frozen ones this morning for a seafood lasagne for my d-i-l.
The supermarket that has the best fresh fish has had several cases of
covid among the staff. I don't feel like risking a visit there.

I buy frozen sea scallops and here's why. The raw sea scallops in the
seafood case aren't straight off a boat. They always have a sign in
front of them that says "previously frozen". I appreciate Publix being
transparent about that but why would I want to buy previously frozen
(then thawed scallops when I can buy a 1 lb. resealable bag of flash
frozen sea scallops for half the price? I've never been disappointed in
them and I can portion out as many or as few as I want and thaw them
myself. I love, love, love scallops!

Back some years when I was still diving I used to get a scallop
licence, C$5 per year which entitled me to 100 scallops per dive. You
have not tasted scallops until you taste them fresh out of the water,
totally different to frozen. These were fresh from the water and can
I ever taste the difference.

Of course you can. I was merely saying why I buy the frozen rather than
the "fresh previously frozen" which are the only kinds available down
here in Southern SC. There will never be an opportunity for me to taste
the fresh scallops you dove for or had a scallops diving license for in
Canada.

Princess, if you lived in Canada you would still buy frozen
scallops from the grocery store.

South Carolina is a mecca for fresh seafood yet you buy
all of yours from a grocery store that's not even local.
Even canned crabmeat.

Try a local seafood market sometime. Do I need to find
one for you?

Living on an island surrounded by the sea it's best to invest in
fishing gear... really don't need anything expensive fishing from the
shore. Probably need to buy a fishing license for a few dollars but
otherwise freshest seafood dinners are free.
