Diveing the mission bay jetty - couldnt help but notice a bunch of huge scallops back in some of the holes. Would you eat scallops that come from the mission bay jetty?

No. then again, I think all shellfish are pretty dirty.

No. Mission Bay is consistently rated as one of the dirtiest bays in CA. I think the fact that you see huge scallops still there means the other divers have passed them up for a reason.

Yes

We had a picnic on the beach in Mission Bay once - no seafood - and everyone got really sick after...

lol. left the potato salad in the sun, no?

I should add that these were out at the very end of the jetty, where it should get more straight ocean water, and i doubt they had ever been seen by another diver as i was about 35 feet back inside the jetty on a 60 foot air hose.

Still, I left em there.

So, any monster bugs??? and yes, I'd eat them.

I've eaten scallops of of zuniga without ill effects. After all, its just the muscle you're eating, not the guts. That being said, I sure wouldn't do it every day.

Was the water 60' deep out there at the end of the jetty?

Ate scallops from mission bay jetty once - after the sharp stomach pains went away, I was on the toilet for the next 3 days...

I'd stay clear of them.

Polystigma · 11-22-2006, 02:17 PM

Shoot we ate some PV scallops raw a few nights ago and they were sure tastey!

YakAtak · 11-22-2006, 02:29 PM

I see those scallops at MB Jetty all the time...I wouldn't eat them.

bajahunter · 11-22-2006, 02:53 PM

those were definitely great, and I'd eat those off the floor of a bar in tijuana, but even I'd steer clear of the Mission Bay ones, I like my scallops with a side of minimal side effects

No. My rule of thumb for seafood is: If I won't eat it raw then I won't take it.
