The market in the US for scallops is huge! Dana Morse from Maine Sea Grant talks about the status of Scallop culture in Maine, emphasizing just how much knowledge and care goes into growing these animals. Plus, you can enjoy a little history lesson as well! Maine and Aomori Prefecture, a state in Japan, have a sister-state relationship dating back to 1889 when a ship set sail from Bath, ME. Since then, we've learned a lot from Japan about different grow-out methods, and interesting products you can bring to market (like scallop ice cream !!) Tune in to learn more from Dana!
