Hi KY Heirloomer,
Made the trip to Steinhatchee this weekend, Sorry but Gary doesn't sell crab on the Net, We did have a great time. Saturday we collected about seven Gal. of live Bay scallops,that evening we got together with the neighbors for a block throw down, A little wine and a lots of food, Burgers (grilled), Soft shell turtle (deep fried in seasoned rice flour), and I brought sliced red potatoes with caramelized vidalia onions and smoked Lee brand sausages prepared in a giant cast iron skillet on the grill. Served with a variety of sides

Hey Pepperman do me a favor?!? Next time you have a throw down like I want to come and bring fiance & 8 yr. old it would only be 3 more mouths to feed!!!:o I'll bring some wine and whatever else:D That sounded wonderful! I looked up Steinhatchee on the map, I am wondering if the Bay Scallops are only available there? I know I used to find lots of scallop shells in Gulf Shores on the beach there. Maybe you might know?

That's a sure thing, We'd be happy to have you guy's join us. It seems we're always grilling, frying, roasting or boiling something. The more the merrier. Lots of good friends having fun. I did change the through to throw down in my earlier comment. Whata goof!
The scallops are found from Ceder Keys all the way to Gulf Shores. They are more abundant in the Big Bend area of Fl. I think this has been the best season we've had in several years. Lots of Scallops. Of course that means lots of boats as well. The Bay Scallop is a wonderful food. It's illegal to harvest them commercially and can only be taken recreationally from July to September.

Thank you so much for the rapid reply, we are planning a trip down to Destin around next month sometime and I am putting that on my "to do" list.

Kathy,
If you do decide to visit the Steinhatchee area, Send a brief message with the dates to my web site Sizzling Pepper Griddle . If Vaviel and I are in town that weekend we'd be happy to show you guys around.
