All seafood adhered to the local laws of Tasmania and abided by catch size limits, daily takes and no fish zones. Over the past 6 years I have made the commitment to no longer buy fish, so I only eat the fish I catch. Spearfishing is the most sustainable form of fishing on the planet, it is also the most environmentally friendly form of fishing.
Let me know what you think of the video in the comments section. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the video and don't be afraid to like, share and subscribe for more Spearfishing!
Until Next Time

Hey guys. Have to agree. Fresh and raw scallops cant be beaten. Kind of like a cashew in flavour but sweeter and saltier. Washed down with a corona off the ice and OMG.

I grew up getting scallops here in Florida. Strict limits on those too. We would go with a big group of friends and basically took some people that didn't even know how to swim just so we could have them on the boat for a bigger bag limit. My dad would eat so many that he wound up with heavy metal poisoning, specifically arsenic. At the time though we had no idea what was causing it. We had friends who owned an old cattle ranch and we thought since arsenic was used to kill the insects on the cows, it had leeched into the water table. That wasn't it. My mom was investigated by the cops! Then poison control finally told us it was the scallops! He was eating about a quart of scallops a day. That was enough. Not sure if that is an issue in your part of the world, but maybe worth checking out sir.

As a fellow Sydney diver, I haven’t been fortunate enough to ever catch my own scallops although I love them so much. Also I’m confused how there were so many oysters just in the sand. I’ve always thought oysters needed a rock or pylon or some sort of structure to grow on and reproduce. And when you said most of these scallops were harvested at 16-18, is that meters, or feet?

My favorite way to eat scallops besides fried, is to,Sautee them in herb butter, then serve over some linguini. Take some Italian bread and toast it, then soak it in the liquid the scallops cooked in. Serve it with the pasta and scallops. Add just a sprinkle of parmesan romano cheese and a small dash of black pepper.

In Norway there's scallops almost everywhere. But I only pick them when I can't catch any fish nor crabs, or for other people... I like them a lot, but it's not my favorite thing in the ocean. I much prefer queen scallops. Here they're not even quarter the size of the one in the video, but they're delicious.

Oh wow, I would loveeee to dive Norway. Do you get the invasive king crabs in Norway freediving they look incredible. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel Michal!

@michastec6766 Жыл бұрын

I've heard of people catching them in pots. But they're not common outside the northern part of Norway. There's plenty of brown edible crabs though.
