The Best We Can Be

The best we can at this difficult time is to be supportive of one another. To lift each other up and bring a sense of belonging to each other in a time of separation and isolation .

Our Capt. Will is a guy who grew up in Chatham. A son of a fishermen, now a captain of his own boat. He is responsible for his scalloper, his scallop quota and his crew. And now to some degree, you.

At the last scallop pick-up when he and his crew arrived at the dock,  in the pouring rain, after a hard 30 hours of  fishing; you cheered and clapped for him. He felt your gratitude.

You stood in line for his scallops, went home and cooked some of the most freshest seafood available.

Did it somehow change your consciousness and connection to the food you eat,  when it's harvested and by whom?

Did it somehow make it more delicious, more satisfying, more deliberate?

Chatham Harvesters saw your posts and read your emails and thank you for sharing.

 Stephen and Eileen's delicious scallop dinner post they shared Sunday evening on our Facebook page @ChathamHarvesters 

I promised a recipe and I thought it should be simply and easy in times of complications and difficulty, so here goes; 

PAN-SEARED SEA SCALLOPS 

Pat your scallops dry. Heat some oil in a large pan. Place scallops in the pan. They should sizzle and will turn golden in color . Sear them  ( do not move) for 1-2 minutes, flip and sear the other side1-2 minutes. Remove from pan, drizzle with lemon,  Done! 

Here is to many more meals together!

Take care of yourselves and see you at the dock.
