But to me the best scallops are the Massachusetts Bay Scallops.  Small and 
delicious.

I agree that Pacific scallops are every bit as good as are Atlantic scallops.  
For that matter, Atlantic scallops grow more on the European side of the ocean 
than on this side.  When Pam and I did Ireland back in 2001, we really enjoyed 
the pub food as it was astonishingly fresh.  In Westernport, I asked when they 
had gotten their salmon and the waiter just pointed to a boat and told me that 
the fish would be on land in a minute and what did I want to drink?  The 
mussels were marvelous and I do not care for mussels.  Poor Molly Malone.

But you guys on the Far Left Coast miss out on the sweetness of Atlantic 
lobster.  Now, that is a toothsome grin.

Be well -- and the best wishes for the holidays.

Marc
