Gives you plenty of time to go get more. In the past, near Macraes "The Shed", on the Homosassa River, there are folks who will clean your scallops for you, for a fee of course. That's my style, I can enjoy a cold beer while I wait. :-)Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076523638471888155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-84929942544639055522012-07-08T09:13:32.582-04:002012-07-08T09:13:32.582-04:00cleaning scallops, not for me!
