Where to buy Large Scallops Locally

[Abe_froeman]

Isn't he moxons too? They often seem to help move the trailer with their van at the end of the market.

As regards the shop itself, it is often quite midweek around lunchtime and onwards into the afternoon. You could always pop in then and ask them how to buy scallops and what they will charge.

I was disappointed with Sopers on my last visit. Fish really looked a bit tired. It was at the tail end of lockdown and also later on in the day but nevertheless...?I chose not to buy

Always had a good experience with Moxons. You get what you pay for and a long queue is often a good sign. Lots of customers with a fast turnover of fish is no bad thing

Scallops are pricey. Order them in advance then go collect

Honestly... I think Moxons fish seems a little better. I like Sopers too, and we use it, but...

[Abe_froeman]

How do prices compare between Moxons and Sopers?

I've not been to the latter so only compare Moxons with William Rose when for an expensive meal in and a beef steak is normally more tempting (and less expensive) than a fish steak for me!

Their Scallops are ?4.94 for 120 grms. That is ?41.25 per Kilo

Is that about right ?

Just to put everyone out of their misery..

I am Not desperate to Buy Scallops.

I have lasted nearly 70 years without them.

I watch a lot of cooking programs on TV and just though I might try them sometime.

To be Honest I think the moment has long passed by.

There you go. If you are frying them with a bit of chorizo Id start with these, then you decide if you want to go all SE22 and buy supposedly fresh

Sadly Fox I suspect you are going to be disappointed if you expect some exotic taste!

I am a great fan of Iceland?s frozen fish. Wild Salmon lovely mmm

[DulwichFox]

I Bought some Large Canadian (Frozen) Scallops from Sainsburys yesterday.

?7.50 for 200 grms That is ?37.50 / kg

Hopefully they will be of reasonable quality.

They should be at that price.

Foxy.

[Spartacus]

Not Canadian

Foxy foxy foxy think of the air miles they did just to get in your stomach !

Take care. There's a translation site that has, among its sample sentences, Hebrew and Arabic versions of "I had an aunt - choked on a scallop at Herne Bay."

I think Iceland are good for a lot of things, eg their fresh veg is generally very good quality, but they do also sell a lot of rubbishy processed food.
