It's not a nice thing to choose the most active cnut running around an ice bath because it's fresher. But that's the reality and I'm gonna choose the freshest I can afford To answer (imo) it's no problem here but UK is another thing and guaranteed there are legislations.... supermarkets here (like ASDA etc) have them running about. Imagine seeing that in Tescos Edited December 18, 2020 by mushroom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fresh, still alive and never been frozen scallops I've looked everywhere here in BCN, all stalls/shops admit they've been previously frozen and they're never in the whole shell, just the split half. The Mrs has tasked me with finding huge, meaty, fresh scallops for Christmas lunch....

Had a seafood medley last night. Mussels in white wine, cream and garlic. Seared scallops and lobster tails. Served with rice and veggies. Was a proper feast and probably cost no more than 25quid for two. Add a bit spider crab legs to that and it would be over 100 notes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some Danish guy found a way to transport langoustine alive, anywhere in the world. He makes millions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
