French fishermen clash with 'scallop-pillaging' Brits

[lastlid]

Seems a bit like China and the Philippines!

"British marine officials were in talks with their French counterparts on Thursday after sea clashes broke out between British and French scallop fishermen. The French argue that their UK counterparts are “pillaging” resources too early in the year."

I love scallops too. Bit of a treat these day though with the current prices.

I like to cook them individually in their shell over a small camping stove.
Just add some sake and soy sauce. :hubbahubba:
