Snorkeling for Scallops

Scalloping is part treasure hunt, part fishing trip, and part underwater adventure. With a mask, snorkel, fins, and a mesh bag, you head into the clear, shallow water searching through the seagrass for bay scallops. Once you spot one, you dive down and pick it up by hand—but watch your fingers, because they can snap their shells shut! It’s a great way to spend a summer day on the water, and there’s nothing quite like bringing the day’s catch back to the boat and later enjoying fresh scallops that you collected yourself. Swim. Search. Dive. Dinner.
