I had the chance to join an aquacultural expedition this morning out onto Lake Saroma. Scallops are one of the biggest industries in this small town, and the last week of May is one of the most important times of the year for the scallop harvest. The scallops are farmed, going through a process of maturation over four or five years before reaching the consumer, one that I don’t fully understand. But this morning, I got a chance to remedy that, and ventured out onto the Lake in a boat for the first time.
