Scallop Diving in Norway

Great underwater shots of scallops on the sea bed. Are these the best scallops in the world? I think so. Wonderful scenery on the Norwegian island of Froya

I think this company has set a great example for all scallop harvestors. I am really impressed. I live in Maine USA and we have great scallops but a state department that manages the resources the wrong way. We only have a tiny season for the draggers to ruin the bottom and then we cut the scallops and throw 90% of it away. Wild scallops cannot be landed whole. The state of Maine does not support our seafood industry the way other country's do! I love this video and this company!

Hi sirenshellfish

Thank you very much for your comment. I made the film for the Norwegian Seafood Export Council. I am a food journalist living in the UK and I have been spreading the word about these amazing scallops for many years.

There are some other films I made on the same trip if you check out my channel at: celletson.

I have passed on your comment to the relevant department in norway as what you say is very interesting.

Thanks again

I live in Washington and the only way to get scallops is like this. We've never had a scallop industry (at least in 100 years) and its kinda good that we aren't driving them out.
