In this photo taken March 14, 2019, Tom Minio, the elder statesman of Kodiak's scallop fishery, poses in Kodiak, Alaska. With regards to scallops, Tom Minio could accurately be described as erudite. On a recent afternoon, Minio sat in the galley of his vessel, the Provider, explaining what makes the best product, while the metallic screeches of boat work drifted in from other parts of the vessel. "The market really loves the big stuff, which I don't understand. I don't like eating big scallops," he said. "It's just like old halibut, you know: the bigger they are, the older they are and the tougher they are." (Alistair Gardiner/Kodiak Daily Mirror via AP)
