Irish food, especially seafood is unmatched, I live in Canada and get jealous as fuck when I see stuff like this 🤣 enjoy it, I’m sitting here raging 🤣
Could never get into eating scallops. Dunno why really as I love mussels
Speaking as a chef, Irish food and produce is the best in the world for one reason and that is simplicity. No complications, which makes ingredient quality and seasonality the most important things as they should be.
The biggest problem I have with irish scallops is the price. Was in Nova Scotia a few years back and on all the docks were booths selling scallops and chips with huge portions of about 15-20 scallops for feic all (can’t remember the exact cost but it was cheap). Starter here would be about three scallops for €15.
My favorite food. Mouth watering here boss
Oh ya fecker
Delish. I absolutely love fresh seafood, but it’s tricky to get good stuff in my home town. Even though its a seaside town. Only option is supermarket stuff which just ain’t the same.
All lightly seasoned with sellafields radiotion!
Shame we wiped out sea urchins
I should acquire the taste for fish.
I’m going to Ireland this summer and I can’t wait for the seafood.
Jesus Christ the amount of butter you’ve put on.
Looks class
Too bad you haven’t got a clue on how to cook it
By God
A stray, dodgey rasher appears
Best piece of salmon I’ve ever had in my entire life was on Inishturk.
It’s an absolute shame that it’s actually difficult to get fresh Irish seafood in most places here. A country so small should have fresh seafood all over the place, but it’s even hard to find it along the coasts. Mind boggling.
Edit: An island country so small
Unfortunately they’re caught by dredging the sea floor absolutely wrecking all other forms of life. Catching these is completely wrecking our sea life.
Diving to get them works apparently but then you wouldn’t be able to get them in the same numbers.
So yeah, I don’t eat them, they’re fucking up our seas
I had some of the best seafood I’ve ever tasted when I visited Ireland a few year ago. I still think about those mussels.
Honestly, given we’re an island it should be a lot more common. Seems like battered cod is the only fish most Irish folk eat on the regular. Plus the odd smoked salmon I guess.
As an Irish American adoptee, who went to a little seaside town on Long Island as a toddler, the seafood in Ireland is hands down the very best. I’ve eaten seafood at home, and places around the globe. I still dream of Irish lobster and scallops. Cheers ☘️
I haven’t seen a tablecloth in years.
Reminds me of my Great Aunt’s house
Where’d you get the scallops? I’ve never tried them but always wanted to
I saw scallops on a menu over the weekend and didn’t know what they were
What’s that in with the scallions?
Once I saw a reddit post about how Europe has no good food
Clearly they’ve never been to ireland
Exquisite bread
Are ye about to make a scampi Sanger. Very strange combo here
I don’t think dredging scallops is the Grrrrreat Irish seafood we need, hand dived are way more expensive, I tend not to buy farmed Vietnam prawns because they are produced with devastating consequences, nets have holes so smaller fish can escape well the net holes are so small they catch all the small fish and make a prawn feed from the minnows. I seen a show on channel 4 about farming prawns. Don’t buy Vietnamese prawns they unsustainably farmed.
Watched a video recently of a guy free diving, cracking a scallop under water and eating it there and then. All I was think was what’s the point like you can’t even taste it.
Looks delicious.
Are they just boiled?
That looks amazing
I see two plates, but the picture looks like OP is not sharing 😀
Scallops are about as unique to Ireland as snails. They are filter feeders and clean all of the dirt out of seawater in the same manner as oysters. Not appetising to me.🤮🤪
Ooh, delicious. My favourite way to eat them is with a *tiny* little bit of soy sauce – the salt brings out the flavour, and there’s also a little something extra as well that just makes the whole thing 😗🤌
That looks mighty. Jealous as anyhing
Now if only we knew how to cook.
Ya we got amazing seafood here but all anyone seems to eat is farmed Salmon and battered cod

You like the roe thingy? I couldn’t bring myself to eat that. That’s his willy like.
How could you?! Scallops are our friends!
