Scotland Scallop diving - We've NEVER seen so many!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- A long weekend to the North West of Scotland meant we had to try and get a dive in. We had never dived the area before but after careful consideration we decided on a location we thought would be good for scallops. What we found was out of control. We've never seen so many scallops! Cooking them up on a wood fired BBQ in the shadow of Ben Nevis - perfect.

Being able to catch your own food and then proceed to cook it WELL is one of life's greatest pleasures
Keeping it british style with the burnt sausages! Top marks guys!
Spent lots of time up at scarrpa flow..If not wreck diving we were scalloping.Now back in nz and reminiscing with this clip.
Only by reviving our coasts will we ever survive. Protect the marine habitats! Help our fish survive the squid invasions!
Very cool the effects of the lights! you're the best. I want to be like you jejeje
next level Dan dive vlog..
Okay, that's very interesting... GIVE ME ALL THOSE SAUSAGESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Great quality and editing👌
The legal limit per day is 6 scallops per person in Scotland.
wish he made more videos
I miss the ocean.
Scallops have eyes
Love the vid those Scallops looked absolutely tasty.. BTW Can anyone go diving for scallops? I would love to try this next time I go.
Yes anyone can go.
@@DanielMann thanks 😊 scallops and lobster are my favourite seafood
"always get what you need not what you can"
But you don't need any
Chris Hardin whooosh🛫🛬
🙎🏾♂️🙎🏾♂️
haha *i don't get it*
True! but Americans are greedy, wasteful ...
lily, Fvck you bitch.
So glad they have a good philosophy of only taking what they need.
Davina Test I was thinking the same thing
Tell this to the Asians.
Maybe you can try wrapping the fish in tin foil, it will be much tenderer.：）
And it will also not stick to the grill.
Not to mention keeping all the juicy goodness with the fish and not intermixing with the coals. But hey, brilliant channel! Loooove it! Good work, plz keep it coming! 😁
Aluminium is toxic..just saying
Whats Up yes, but cooking in properly made aluminium cookware and with foil isn’t toxic, that was a myth
*IM SUPPOSED TO BE DOING HOMEWORK*
Lol..🤣🤣 same here, dang it YT🤣
You're doing homework on how to impress your next date.
Same hahahaha
Same :,)
ITS SUHO
Great diving scenes, and what a bounty! The grilling looked delicious. And Hannah is sublime. Awesome vid, Daniel: you’re living the dream! Cheers from NYC.
I wanted to go to bed. Now im sooo hungry, i can't sleep🙈
Everything looks so delicious.
You need to sleep because your boss is getting mad at you for being late all the time.
@@quivalla do you have a Crystal Ball?
Thats naive, selfish and direspectful Daniel, that area has been dived quietly by locals for decades, prepare for it to be cleaned out by commercial divers now. Ah well as long as you're getting likes and views I'm sure you'll think it's worth it.
Nice video Dan! The soundscape with the drone and fire was spot on loved the spiral down with the drone, also nice implementation of the VFX
Thanks mate! Took me a few goes for that shot with the drone! Sound was the real deal I recorded that afternoon by the BBQ. Appreciate you noticing the details 👌👌👌
@@DanielMann This was superbly done! Had to watch it a couple times - the birds chirping/water running - then the crackle 🔥🔥
Daniel Mann what editing tools do you use? Love your content, very interesting and professional!
@@c-fb I use the adobe suite for my videos.
Welcome to Scotland dude! I am an angler but loved this video and instasubscribed. Great content
scallops and fresh pollock and you being an Aussie had sausages with them
and burnt at that
Wow, I really didnt know where scallops came from until now! Great video, great scenery, and amazing food! Cheers from El Paso,Texas!...new subscriber!!!
Dallas Texas here
Awesome vid! First time viewer, and now fan and subscriber. The footage was so clear, and those jumbo's were still hard to see, thanks for pointing them out, I live on Oahu and never seen them in the wild before, looks pretty deep, you got some good lungs my man.
The grilled treasures had my mouth watering big time, what a nice dinner with that delicious looking fish too! The take what you need etiquette you displayed is pure gold, God bless you👍🍻
Food Envy on that one - love a scallop or three! Always a on point mate
Im going spearfishing soon and after watching this i am excited
Nicholas Milner I hope you had fun
Looks delicious! But, to avoid that scrumptious pollack flesh from getting stuck on the grill, use aluminum foil to wrap it in. Yum!
Great video mate. Always a pleasure to watch. Keep them coming!
For scallops that fresh, simple butter and garlic will be delicious !🤤🤤
Nice video. I prefer google earth instead of climbing hills. Ha ha. Scallop diving is one think I’m looking forward to doing.
I guess it’s not tall enough to be a real mountain haha
@@DanielMann were the hell is this place racking my brain to know haha i keep thinking inverlochy
Bro I had to stop watching those scallops, the looked too good
Nice video as always.
No overdramatized click bait thumbnails👍🏻
Love from Kerala- India
Are allowed to forage scallop in that area? I don't think so
who cares
@@Ffygjjccdffhb I am a Scallop Cop
Anyone thinking of picking random spots in Scotland they haven't dived before needs to be aware that the tidal currents in places can be very strong whilst the surface water appears flat calm and inviting. Plenty of divers, kayakers, fishermen get into trouble where we stay.
NsH MH any sharks over there?
mikerafone music None that will bother a human.
Well... There are videos on yt about great whites off the west coast but no definite sightings. I suspect they are here after all the water is warmer here than it is in South Africa which is famous for great whites due to the seal colonies. We have about 40000 seals on the west coast so there is plenty of food for them.
No reason there shouldn’t be whites in Scotland. Plenty of seals and the right temperature.
@@DanielMann I spent many years diving commercially for scallops,all over the west coast of Scotland and Western isles,never saw or heard of great whites,but have rarely seen orcas,mako,thresher and basking sharks,although none showed any interest…..lots of humpback whales,pilot whales,northern bottle nose whales and dolphins and porpoise by the thousands!still wary of orcas though! Great video btw,took me back! Cheers matey!👌🏴 it was a great way to make a living.
Full respect!!! Take as much as you need, not as much as you can. Couldn’t agree more!!!
did he say that in the video? lol
@@heoung8611 3:55 there you go
how many do you need ? the bag was totally cram packed ?
@@stevejames7305 you're right. Take as much as you need and the bag was packed,! Lol
@@stevejames7305 as long as they could actually eat them all. nothing wrong with the full bag. not like cleaning up the ocean then wasted the catches.
DON'T TELL PEOPLE WHERE YOU ARE .CONSERVE AND HAVE FUN WITH YOUR DOLLY.
The sausage is burned beyond edible.
Charles I disagree. I prefer it like that
@@Gpride1996 get back to hell, satan
Chris Playz. Gladly 😈 my throne is missing me.
@@Gpride1996 😂
He didnt even bother to season anything 🤭🥴
he is english
Negative
Pretty sure he’s Aussie
Seasonings are only for seafood that doesn't have much flavor. For scallops all you use is butter or olive oil, garlic, salt and white pepper. Sometimes I flour them before pan-frying.
me crying here so envy wanna try scallops too😢😢😢 looks so #cool to after catching by yourself cooking it and eat it😭😭😭😭😭
I love cooking seafood in scallop shells. Unfortunately, living inland and NOT at the shore, I had to purchase mine in a specialty store and was horrified at the price for 8 half shells. They do make a lovely presentation, though.
Friends, Family & BBQ! Great vid. Those Scallops looked DELICIOUS!
I Definitely wanted to eat my phone right now. 🤣 🤣🤣
Wrap your pollock in parchment paper (or even newspaper), dunk in water, place on grill. Will steam inside paper.
Should have wrapped the fish in tin foil add a few ingredients too. Your fish sticked all over the grill.
I am even more impressed that she not only did it without a weight belt, but she is a female. And that is not me being sexiest any female diver can tell you that we have more fat on our bodies than men and it's harder for us to get down. Even though I am smaller I usually have more weight than the men I dive with. She has some leg power to kick herself down like that. Also a trick, oil up your grill and the outside of the fish and your fish won't stick like that.
DAMN LOOKS SO GOOD, MAKING ME HUNGRY.
its good to see you're still doing the aussie thing with some snags on the bbq.
Summary of the intro:
Become a dragon, fly to top of mountain then dive bomb to the area you want.
hope you measured them theres a size requirement minimum, we have low numbers in scotland. never take more than you need which you only took enough to eat. . Be gentle putting things back dont just throw them. now i know why i couldnt find them they liew under the sand think i need some wellies at least they like calm water too so wild water beaches are no good. i live right on water but its too wild here for them.
Great as always mate, good feed there! That wetsuit fit Hanna like a wet paper bag 😂😂 come on Guliano 🤞🤞🤞
Hi there. Good you did not reveal the location. Or the industriels would be in like a shot. Watch out for the great whites in the gulf stream on the west cost. Lol
What's up with the seriously burned sausages my friend? Left them on a bit too long
First visit to your channel, Daniel. I really like your attitude to fishing for what you need NOT what you can. Great footage in the cold waters of Scotland. Thanks for sharing :-)
Cheers Stuart and welcome aboard!
did you notice the bag load she was carrying ? it was cram packed to the lilt
Ooh...I never really like scallops, but this made me think otherwise. Now I'm craving some. ❤
Scallops are the absolutely the best seafood. Butter,wine and garlic...
Tony Kiefer disagree, their meat isn’t as sweet as Alaskan king crab or lobster
Why do you remove the surface??? of scallop and kidney? In Asia, we eat all and it is good to eat.
First time that I have watched your video. I enjoyed the video, but I loved the scallops! I was wishing my smart tv had a smell-a-vision app.
I've never had scallops before.
Jumbo scallops pan seared with lemon shallot butter and seasoned rice :) Delicious!
Such a great watch man! The scallops look unreal
Talk about burnt offerings with them sausages!
I think the only reason you put the other two back was not to preserve them, but was actually because you could not fit them in your netting, you must have a greedy appetite to eat so many, or was that for a week, or maybe 10 or more friends ?
The catch bag could easily fit a load more in it. With scallops it looks like a large quantity when you see the shell but once cleaned there isn’t that much left compared to the size of the shell. There was four of us.
@@DanielMann EACH PERSON IS ALLOWED 6 IN TOTAL. BY LAW, I ONLY SAW 2 DIVERS
@@DanielMann AND EVEN IF THERE WERE 4, 6X4 =24 DID YOU COUNT THEM AT THE END ? both servings ?
Scallops not Scollops when in Scotland please
Iain Gray I’m afraid it’s pronounced scollop when in Scotland I’ve never heard anyone up here pronounce it scallop
Marc im scottish and ive never heard it called a scollop only ever scallop
Ummmm yummmy.. brush down with a cold bottle of steiny pure
Oh man they r huge compared to the scallops we used to collect n Clearwater Fl hiding n the grass flats up in anchlote key. And I am sure just as delicious. Happy hunting!
Wow! So many. Thank you for not being greedy. Loved the video.
Oh my gosh this makes me hungry after dinner.. Dying to get some Melb scallops.. Soon as the opportunity arises
That area you have plundered was seeded by locals and has a 6 scallop bag limit. - hopefully commercial divers won't see this and empty the spot now as it's v easily identifiable in the vid.
Grant Laidlaw What does seeding mean?
@@ikryytt919 planting them there.
Grant Laidlaw So, is taking them illegal or just a dick move?
@@ikryytt919 nah, it's not illegal it just doesn't win you many friends! It's not obvious either as it's not advertised but rich spots right in front of houses (as in this spot) can be a good clue 😉
Exactly, this moron doing the video will be causing the good places to be plundered.
Looks beautiful
One of my favourite foods, seafood in general, but scallops, bosh job done.
Omg those scallops were huge and the way you cooked them, mmmmmm so delicious 😋😋😋😋😋🙂
"We've never seen so many"....Yeah and if people like you keep taking as much as you can you definitely won't see many in future
Forgot about the spearfishing????? I was gonna say.... Great video as always!
Wow can’t wait we’re moving to Aberdeen,been over the west to Isle of Skye Oban,ate all the fish we caught out the sea into the grill,absolute nosh of the day,
Scallops wrapped in bacon, skewered. Served with lemon and seafood sauce....😊🇨🇦
Doing that literally ruins the flavour of the scallop
Try wrapping the fish in tin foil before placing it on the grill. That way it won't fall apart.
It wont have that smokey taste then will it
Try scallops raw. The best sea food I ever put into my mouth was the day I chose to eat one prior to cooking it. Better then lobster!
Closest I've had to that was after marinating in lemon juice for a day.......
Just think how much was eaten by us in the same way we'd watched various animals eat their prey. I mean...... what ever possessed anyone (other than starvation) to open an oyster shell and be immediately compelled to gobble that down?
Living on Chesapeake Bay in my few+a couple decades, I don't recall eating "bay scallops" that were authentically scallops...... I've stood in Cape Charles marsh mud eating oysters and clams seconds after catching them (that's fresh as it gets), and I recall houses with signs advertising scallops, but never checked them out...... bay scallops are allegedly wings of skates and rays punched out with a cookie-cutter type device. This video is pretty provocative in terms of wishing I could go there for the real thing. Scallop and shrimp scampi's a favorite.
Meh, after a few people contracted hepatitis, I kinda don’t want to
Great to see you’re eating the scallop roe mate. It’s delicious 👍
"Scotland" "Scallops" seems appropriate though
Enjoyed the video and as a Scot, I seriously miss the place. One small criticism, I don't recall you talking about scallop size, and I think some of the ones you collected looked a bit on the small side. When we dive in Northern Ireland we only pick the ones about the size of the larger part of the palm of your hand. Keep up the good work.
Hey. Im based in NI and beggining to spear. Im work in biodiversity conservation (skates and the like) so appreciate your comment regarding sizes etc. Are you still based here? Would be great to go together in the future.
Yes it looks delicious. I've never had them but I would love to try them
As much as i half to share i have exams tomorrow and im awake at 3 am watching people catch and cook seafood
Love your editing and story line , always top shelf👌
Amazing video daniel like all the time keep up the great job
Is the skirt not edible? That a whole lot of waste...
Aaaahhhh! I’m so jealous. Those scallops look awesome.
Ah yes, a spot of couch fishing during the lockdown. I love New Zealand
That’s all I’m doing at the moment, lockdown in the UK as well. PS: love your channel 👌
Planning on doing some more free diving soon Josh
Lol I don't really think he knew what he was doing. That fish stuck to the grill.
the part you retreive from the scallops should be thrown into the sea for the fishes to feed on
Great, next time try putting the fish on a couple flats of the scallops to prevent the fish from sticking on the grill, looks great
I like how you said catch what you need and not what you can carry, but to me, the skirt is part of that clam that is edible and should be eaten too! But I did not see you used it?
Filming and editing on point dude! I didn’t know fort William was so good for scallops!😍
Dunk that bread in the shell butter. tasty stuff.
"Skull' ups"
I sure love skullups
Looks bloody cold mate! Worth it for that feed but! 🤜🤛
Tropical 14°C in the water.
@@DanielMann arr beat 7c i guess hey!
I adore scallops! Lucky buggers! 😆👍🏻
ahmm can someone help. ive been clapping may hands for about a thousand times now and im still in the mountain. is there another way to teleport?
After effects.
hahahah!
You don’t leave the roe the criminal that’s the best part
Top video mate 👍
Ah u add it later try the mussel cooked and have the roe raw as a chaser it good
un plan magnífico
They shut ours 3 years ago in southisland new Zealand never to be open again herb check out herbs kiwi experience Marlborough sounds 🖒😁😂😁
If my memory serves me right this area of Scotland became protected to preserve the scallops that had been almost decimated. Be careful you don’t want the nature reserve knocking on your door.. Great video though love your enthusiasm.
Catching them is fine. It's not illegal for hobby fishermen to catch them anywhere in Scotland..
@@wullymc1 did you notice the bag load she was carrying ? it was cram packed to the lilt
Wrap the scallops in streaky bacon secured with a cocktail stick.barbeque,,cation highly addictive
Sounds a bit naughty! Like a bacon wrapped filet mignon 🤤
@@DanielMann habit I picked up in New Zealand when lived there... We used to BBQ them...try it mate.. as for baconrap fillet mignon,just got added to my bucket list

Very nice video! And amazing with all the scallops
