Thanks for watching! If you're enjoying our content make sure to like and subscribe. Also, let me know where to buy a new belt!

Bro, there’s literally nothing better than a raw, fresh Nova Scotia scallop. Glad to see you rep the East so well

Nature's delicacy, a gift from the sea. What a great hunt, thanks!

Nicely done boys, make this Maritimer proud 🍻

Thank you gents. I keep sharing your channel with folks who will appreciate it!! My family has a place in New Harbour. Do you ever get up in that direction?

That's beautiful! Well done. Only a matter of time before your channel explodes. Keep up the great work :)

The „pumpkin“ creature is an anemone with it’s tentacles retracted. Nice video! Keep it up!

Holy crap that looked good! Plus, it always tastes better when you catch it, especially when it’s something new like this. Very cool.

Watched this and your other scalloping videos quite a few times trying to get some idea of where to find scallops on the south shore, finally found my first hand picked scallops today! Hope you do more snorkeling videos this year!

Used to dive for those in Nova Scotia in the eighties. We'd be so hungry due to the cold and the diving we'd shuck them on shore and eat some right there, raw of course. I miss those days.

Great dive guys...good job! Thanks for sharing your experience.

I really enjoyed that thank you. Can't beat a real video 😁👍👍 I'm in Ireland and can't wait to find my first scallops. 👌

For years I've thought about taking my family out East for a vacation. This looks amazing.

Just subscribed guys! This is an awesome video

well like i said in your last video ,i hope you find them ,now i know what they actually look like . looks so tasty .glad you did this thank you .

Great on finding the scallops looked like a fun time

So awesome Noah.

Thats awesome guys. Congrats, im so glad you found some. Loved the video.

First time seeing this video nice I’m from Newfoundland I scuba dive for them here only aloud 50 a day and we eat the roe tell ya another way there great light a fire cook in the shell by a fire deadly cheers guys

Sweet.! Thank you for sharing.!

Wow awesome! Great job Bys! 👌👍

2:19 thats a sea anemone my guy, hes just haven his lunch

now thats foraging!!! shanks for sharing

Great video. Your underwater footage just keeps getting better and better. AS for eating raw scallops, there are an abundance of nasties that can be found in live scallops: 1. Fecal and other coliform bacteria, from runoff, sewage etc. Should not be a problem in allowed scallop areas, Fisheries and Oceans closes the areas that are unsafe, but you might get unlucky. 2 Red Tide: an algal bloom, can occur in spring and summer. comment :same as above 3 PSP: paralytic shellfish poisoning, another nasty algae product. Not destroyed by cooking, but pretty rare. As for the scallop roe, CFIA (food inspection) says: "Special note for recreational Atlantic sea scallop (Placopectin magellanicus) harvesters The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is advising recreational harvesters to only consume the adductor muscle when harvesting wild scallops. The adductor muscle is the portion which is commonly referred to as the scallop "meat". Whole wild scallops or wild scallop meats with roe and/or viscera attached can contain marine biotoxins, and if consumed, could cause severe illness." Sorry to be crabby (heh) but I eat scallops cooked. cheers

Thanks Noah now I have to go out and buy some scallops and try them on the BBQ. Looked delicious. Now before anyone asks where he caught them don't bother asking because I am sure he is not going to divulge his honey hole. If you must ask I would say somewhere in the waters off of Nova Scotia....lol Still looking for a trip through the canal system of Nova Scotia from Halifax through to the Bay of Fundy. That would make awesome video content for sure. Keep the coming and we will be keeping on watching. Catch you on the next video.

You found some ! Good job!

Welp, guess I have a new bucket list item. Thanks!

Super cool! Would definitely love to try this some day

Redemption! Well done fellas! Eating well 😋

Awesome!

By the way. The roe is a concern due to toxic algae blooms but toxicity levels can vary from one scallop to another collected in the same area; but the adductor muscle tends to remain toxin free. So feast away boys.

3:39 Can you see the lobster hiding?

I love the cinematic b-rolls and the closeup videos. That looks like an amazing meal you have cooked from the scallops. What is the open season for scallops? Thank you for sharing your video.

Great catch and it looks delicious mmmmmmmmmm!

Heck ya! delish

Hey! Great videos, I’m from NS and have been wanting to do this for a long time. Would you be able to recommend some areas you’ve found success in finding some? What depth did you find them? Many thanks and keep up the great videos!

So dang pretty!!

good stuff

Solid videos! Since you're down east, why not trek to the most remote town for some exploration? Meat Cove has a little bit of everything (aside from it being a massive tourist attraction now). Everyone stays in the little town, but if you head off into the mountains following the dirt road through the small town, you find some pretty awesome things (old miners roads, vintage vehicles in the forest left behind, mountains and unbelievable views of the ocean from the coastline, as well as views of the shipwreck)

Great video. You know you can eat scallops right out of the shell. Eat them with the sea water that’s inside is delicious!

Awesome video guys. Glad to see that you were successful Noah on your scallop quest. The meal sure looked tasty for sure. Searching the Atlantic Ocean sure beats Humber Bay park on Lake Ontario. 😂 Keep the adventures coming. 👌

9:36 Is that Colter and W.B. Walker I hear? Love that album.

Can't wait to do this myself this summer

Pretty work BOYZ.. was like being there almost

So glad to see this one on scallops. I’ve been wondering why there didn’t seem to be much foraging going on in the Maritimes, especially from the sea. Are the laws prohibiting seafood harvesting by individuals?

Scallops are chewy if you over cook them. I like scallops better than lobster. And you are right, they are sweet.

looks soooo goood ...i miss home

Where did you go diving for these scallops in Nova Scotia?? We might be visiting soon, and it would be amazing to catch some too!

Whaaaaaaat...???? The roe IS the Scallop, it ain't nothing without it.

Awww man...that's just too wicked.

lucky bastards :) I'm jealous. Cool vid

I do the same in New Brunswick , only I use scuba

what beach did you go from? I hear Digby is the place and there are a few beaches between Peggys Cove. Blind bay has some open areas also. Is that a good area to fish for scallops?

I love Scallops but I will usually only eat Digby Scallops. The one time I tried one raw I ended up having the gag reflex because the scallop was large and I put the whole thing in my mouth. I didn't mind the taste so much, it was the texture that made me gag. I have not tried a raw one since.

Did u guys use a tank?

Why is it illegal to eat the row in Nova Scotia? Its really good raw or cooked

Wow. Great outing. Now I can’t stop thinking about scallops…. Where did the shrimp come from?

amazing video please make more videos like this one

You should invest in proper dive/snorkel weight belt with quick release capability.

That was interesting. Any idea why you can't eat the row? And are the other parts edible at all, or just not as desirable?

Luv that little Asian influence yum !

Where on the south shore did you do this?

Where is this?

scallops and jazzzzz

I kept thinking of Shirly Ann Durden

@northernscavenger can you tell me where this is at exaclty ?!

HI Good video, when dose season start and finish Scallops? what about regylation/rules for catching Lobster? its posible?

on 2’, this is sea anemone, looks like plumosa, digesting something.

How far out in the bay?

bread knife works best for opening them

need a shorter knife, curved side in your palm cut along the top and the roe will be on the one side of shell and the meat will be on the other shell.

Where is this exactly ??!

I live in nova scotia I would love to join you sometime bro

Anyone familiar with scallop locations in the Sydney - Sydney Mines area in Cape Breton??

8:47 Where did you hear that it's illegal to eat the roe?????

Scallops should only be cooked over high heat with butter for only 1.5 minutes one side, and then 1.0 minute the other side. You want them still slightly translucent in the middle. Putting them on the BBQ is turning them into only a rubber texture, being that that is a muscle after all. Nova Scotians, will only skillet pan/butter sauté them at 1.5 minute the first side, turn over, and ONLY 1.0 minute more, at a heat where butter will fry them, but not burn the butter. You will get a wonderful butter 'bark' BUT still have a most succulent mid-translucent fleshed Bay Scallop.

Have a recipe for that sauce?

How jealous is Alex that he can’t be out here doing this.

hope my tip helped ;-)

I cannot believe I get to do this....

hi good video i’m from Ukraine inserted spear fishing its available?

Fresh from the sea, nut'n better!

wha

There ought to be a law against such sweet torture! You are a cruel, cruel man!
