Perhaps I should have said Digby Nova Scotia!

Home to a large scallop and lobster fishing fleet and known worldwide for their famous Digby scallops, visit the town of Digby for a colorful photo of fishing boats in the harbor and sample scallops at one of the many restaurants in the town.

Scallops are different. More 'meaty'. I think you'd like them.

Wolf fish. Not popular in England, much more so in Scandinavia. Not unlike monkfish, but much cheaper.

Abalone.

tried monkfish it may have been overcooked it was very rubbery.

@shallow-blue said
Rubbery? Not just overcooked, then, but maltreated. Squid goes rubbery from mere overcooking. Monkfish doesn't, unless you do something truly wrong with it.

That said, it is naturally more 'meaty' than, say, cod. But it should still be easy to cut and chew.

gonna give em a go for sure/I cant say I was keen on oysters

I don't like oysters, but scallops are always good.

You can even grill them up.

The oysters or the scallops?

I guess you talking about the scallops on the grill. I've shucked the oysters and ate them raw. Most people find that gross.

If you have a choice between Haddock or Cod I suggest get the Haddock. 🙂
