“I found one!” I shriek through my snorkel. I hold my breath to dive down and grab the scallop, tucking it safely into my neon green mesh bag.
I checked off this bucket list Florida adventure in Crystal River, just a 90-minute drive from the theme park mecca of Orlando.
Every summer, locals and tourists flock to the shallow grassy waters along Florida’s Gulf Coast to harvest bay scallops. This culinary treasure hunt lures families of all ages to grab a mask and snorkel and hunt for the tasty shellfish.
