Scallop guts collector

[howl]

This sounds weird if you have not, or maybe even if you have, cleaned a scallop. Unless you do it often, it's always a hassle. One method for the unskilled is to use a shopvac to remove the guts. The problem is you then have a shopvac full of shellfish much. Some people just buy a small, cheap one and throw it away afterward.

Rather than that, you can use one of these gizmos and just wash out the bucket or use a liner or toss out the bucket if so inclined. The guts don't make it to the vac. You can rig this up yourself or just buy it from the store. Rigging it yourself is probably better, but so is learning how to flip the guts out of a scallop so you don't need the vac and ain't nobody got time for that neither.

I get my scallops already cleaned.

This reminds me... scallop season in Florida starts soon!

Your method of mollusk entrail disposal and knowledge of the gnat line have piqued my interest.

the only thing I know about scallops is how to cook and eat them. That dust evacuater/scallop guts extraction bucket looks awfully familiar to the ones that are used on hobby sandblast cabinets.
