Now that you have had a productive day in catching your scallops you now need to know how to clean them. This is a job that takes a little bit of time and effort, but if you assign specific jobs to your helpers it will move right along. First you need a glove and shucking knife. With the glove on one of your hands if the scallop shell is not already open gently put your knife between the shell and gently pry it open just enough for you to get your finger in there. Now you take your shucking knife and keep it against the inside of the shell and separate the matter from that side. You can know pull the shell apart. While you are doing this your helper can now remove the guts from around the meat. This process will get easier the more you do it and by the time you finish you should have mastered this technique. Place the shell in the palm of your hand and take your thumb and push all of the matter around the shell in the middle towards your meat. Then take your hand and just pull it out over the meat. You are almost finished have someone with a spoon scoop the meat out of the shell. Now all that is left is to clean the meat basically by rinsing off what ever excess that was left behind know your are ready to cook them up.
