Draging is like tilling a forest to pick some blueberries...pretty sad, stupid and selfish.

[Brentt2]

Actually it's shellfish... sorry, couldn't resist.

If only fishermen could see the damage that this unnessessarily destructive practice leaves in its wake! Very, very sad...

I haven't eaten a scallop before, so I have to ask: Why throw away much of the scallop and save only a part for eating?

[OfficialJMars]

to all the people that are going on with all this "hurting the environment" bullshit need to shut their mouths. scallop dragging, crab fishing, shrimp fishing, etc etc are all a part of our atlantic culture. live with it or die bitching about it

Hey, my dad was one of the fisherman that you were on the boat with :)

Great video. Thanks for putting it up. These tree huggers are misinformed and have nothing better to do than bash hard working men and women.

@Jwonnytonny Jwonny, seriously, 50bushel tows of what? 80 count? 120? are you fishing pruvians. upper bay of fundy, home of the digby scallop, a 10bushel tow is getting rare in the third week of the season. especially anything better than 30-40's, you're looking at 7 bushel tows tops, 30min tows @ 2.5k unless you want your crew digging muck all day for 50-60's you're lucky to get 10

@InfoWarriorMaverick Batter scallp rings, and deep fry them. It tastes like someone blew their nose into cleenex that a scallps fisherman wiped their hands on, and fried up. Occasionaly a market in asia opens for the scallop roe, but many fishermen dont bother becuase the time:profit ratio is just too low.
