What happened????? I love them both, but only rarely buy either because of the price.
The health of the Chesapeake Bay has been negatively effected by various things. Also, now people can get scallops shipped to places like Colorado, so there is a broader market for a smaller quantity, that's why your scallop prices have gone up so much! The people in states in the middle of the country, though, probably are glad to at least have the chance to buy them at any price, which before the days of overnight shipping, wasn't a very good idea!
