Seaslug,
We used to eat them right on the bottom out of the shell. I wasn't sure about it the first time but it is the best way to eat a fresh scallop. My friends still initiate new divers with the ritual of cleaning one out and popping it in the mouth right there under water. :thumbup
The reactions are varied but no one has chickened out that I know of.
Lorain Saddler used to bring a bottle of soy sauce out on the boat and bring a few up after every dive when I was hangning around on Catalina back in the day.

Do you still dive?

Haven't dove since about 1984 - lived in Phoenix for 2 years. Certified in 1966, dove Pismo Beach area DAILY for about 6 years - almost all free diving.

Even when I dove I preferred rod and reel - except Hawaiian Sling for big halibut in Avila Beach (free diving every May/June) to 50+ pounds.

Nice meeting you on the water today Incredible. Thanks for the gift.

Piranha & I ended up with lots of croaker, short WSB, a couple of legal sandies and spotties plus pencil barries.

One kayaker caught a mola mola outside - to big to get in his yak.
