Fish story

[Kevin McCormack]

One of the great scams of bogus seafood traders was (and maybe still is) using a round punch to dowel out circular chunks of meat from the cheeks and crown of game and ground fish and sell them as scallops. A guy that used do come around to my inlaws cottage at Wellfleet on the Cape every day at 4PM in an old Good Humor ice cream truck would always tell us, "If they're all the same size, they ain't wild scallops!"
