To say I could eat 500 scallops

[HappilyHarridan]

DP says I couldn’t. I say, if I was really hungry and all there was to eat was scallops then it’d take about 500 to fill me up, because they’re basically air. DP says the most anyone could realistically consume is 30.

Scallop rhymes with bollock I mean!

I vary between pronouncing the a as an a, and the a as an o, as I’m not entirely sure which is correct

11,000 actually appears to be at the low end of estimates. Pan seared it’s just shy of 20,000.

And more than a weeks’ worth of fat

It’s definitely scallop to rhyme with bollock.

I’ve had this opportunity before. DH, a friend and I ended up with a bag of about 100 freshly dived scallops - they had been out with others, got their quota and then were given other people’s quota too.

We threw them all on the barbie, with heaps of garlic and butter. Got through about 80, then ended up giving the rest to the dog. They were biggies - palm sized.

So rich, we were tapped out. Although you HAVE to eat the roe. If you don’t, that’s equivalent to eating chicken breast only, and never the thigh meat where all the flavour is.

500 no I wouldn't think you could, I reckon you'd be hurling by 200. 5 is enough for me.

I think the roe is called the coral.

I love scallops.

I think my limit would be 25 though. And I’m a greedy bastard.

Blast. I want scallops now.

You could cheat and get Manx Queenies. They're tiny (about the size of a Malteser) but still delicious and you'd eat well over 30 of those any day.

A trip to the Isle of Man would be required but that's no way overinvestment in proving a point here at all.

Dammit I really need scallops now.

I don't think I could do 500 but maybe 35 at a push.

@WingMirrorSpider - get out of my head...
