Your mom probably warned you not to play with your food as a kid, but it turns out there's more than just malnutrition to worry about when it comes to some especially feisty seafood. While our moms were most likely just trying to get us to finish a full meal, they might have been warning their kiddos about how physically dangerous messing with what's on our plate can really be! Even the stealthiest of fishermen could end up on the wrong end of this hook.
This family was preparing their dinner of delicious, fresh scallops. The morsels were even still inside their shell, just waiting to be boiled and buttered up for a totally tasty dish. But the mollusks were understandably less excited about the impending hot tub treatment. Things got worse when this woman decided to taunt one of the innocent scallops with her finger as it sat apparently motionless on the counter. We've seen some shocking fish moments before, but nothing quite as hilarious as this!
The video reminds me of that scene in The Little Mermaid where poor Sebastian is caught in the kitchen and being chased around by the crazed chef. The woman's reaction when the scallop retaliates is even funnier than the crustacean's cartoon version. What would you have done? I'd like to think I'd be more mature than teasing my future food, but I'm sure curiosity would have gotten to me just as much. Luckily, now I don't have to worry about it!
