    French fishermen clash with 'scallop-pillaging' Brits

    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."

    Hmm ... there's DEFINITELY something fishy about this: Probably clashing over net profits.

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