Here, we see the Fishing Vessel Tarr Baby becoming one of the first (if not the first) of our lobster boats being refitted yesterday with a mast and boom for winter Atlantic Scallop dredging.
The scallop season here runs from later this month through March of 2021, depending on the type of scalloping (dragging a dredge or human diving) and the Maine zone in which it is done.
For those lucky enough to live on the Down East coast of Maine, it’s time to place your order for fresh scallops with your favorite fisherman. David Tarr, the owner of Tarr Baby, is one of several fishermen already advertising with signs and on FaceBook.
There’s nothing better for dinner than very fresh scallops, except perhaps very fresh lobster. But, soon we’ll have both here! Time to get out that recipe for lobster and scallop bouillabaisse. (Brooklin, Maine)
