Fishing: North Atlantic - Scallops Expansion

Great to see more additions to this game. New ships look amazing. Played with the mid grade ship of the 3 so far and everything worked great, didnt come across any bugs. This game is one of a kind and Im glad to see more content added, was worth the purchase

Let's be honest, if you're already into the game enough that you're reading reviews for DLC for this very niche game, you should just buy it. If you're enjoying the game, lumps and all, you will probably enjoy this. It's still not without its problems, but it's a worthy expansion. A beginner/mid-tier/high-end lineup of three new ships. I like the design of all the new boats. Scallop fishing itself is quite easy; you don't need to buy bait or consumable equipment, and your nets and lines appear to be indestructible, so you just need to buy a bar tip to find a spot then just go blitz it. Pricing on scallops is quite high so it's very easy to make a lot of money in just a couple of days. Scallop gutting is very difficult. I just leave it to the crew.

Great expansion here. Adds 3 detailed ships and yes they are cool. Then you can catch Sea Scallops! First time out, I used the Big Ben, an old aft cabin chugger with a 20,000 kg capacity. Got a bar tip for a location a week old for scallops, headed out and stayed out, had my crew working all day and through the night until I packed the vessel full of scallops then I went to Dennis Point and sold them all for $510,000, not a bad run. So yeah, if you like this game then this expansion is certainly worth it.

Great expansion overall. I very much enjoy the Viking Power scallop dredger. Scalloping overall is one of my new favorite things to do in the game. It's fairly relaxing with a good bit of downtime, especially if you run the ship with a full crew. This is key, because if you're like me and work from home, you can run the scallop dredger in the background and cycle the nets every so often and it doesn't take much direct input. This allows things like multitasking for real life money while I fish on another monitor ;)

cannot recommend until i get some answers about how to gut the damn scallops - once someone tells me, i'll change this to positive because i LOVE this DLC and tbh fishing for scallops is more fun than the other methods of fishing they have in the base game... EXCEPT GUTTING THE SCALLOPS. i have searched everywhere to find out HOW - i don't like using crew members i like doing the actions manually unless i have to have a second member like for net hauling but i don't understand at all what i'm supposed to do. the tutorial is crap for gutting scallops and i wanna enjoy this to the MAX obviously i will change review when i am told how to gut scallops because this game is awesome and deserves more praise

it was a good dlc but i have one issue.when you go into third person on the mid sized scallop boat it makes a realy loud sound that sounds like moaning this could end up being problematic for non headphone users

Old Ben is the coolest looking boat in the game, and Scallops can be caught year-round (and are quite lucrative to boot). A fantastic DLC, though there is a bug where your dredge fills instantly. Misc Games support this game with frequent bug fixes and I expect the instant dredge filling bug to be fixed very soon.

Great new expansion the thing i recommend for improvement is more crew slots so you can be out longer instead of keeping your crew back and forth to bed and back to controls. other than that it's been all good little buggy but i do recommend this expansion.

Nice little expansion - some very beautiful new boats to go along with a rather fun new fishing mechanic. Well worth its modest price.

was pretty excited when i saw scallops, the overall function of the boats and the style is great and its awesome to get a new species. It is buggy however, when my scallops hit the deck theyre sorted for a minute. then they suddenly disappear when my dredger drops to rig on the deck and my gutter wont clean anything, no matter how many times i switch the person or whatever

Most or all bugs seem to have been worked out, but as always: save early, save often! This DLC adds 3 new ships and the dredging mechanic, to me it's worth every penny. Ol Ben is a very difficult starter scallop boat and everything is manual, strongly recommend at least one crew member. Sea Scout adds a second dredge and automated reels which are invaluable, as well as a really neat full interior and awesome overall design. Then there's the Viking Power, I got so excited when I saw this because it utilizes the X-bow design, and new A-frame cranes designed specifically for the Viking Power. It's very cool in all, with a very fathamable progression from ship to ship (though I did keep the Sea Scout because it's just a beast) If you love this game and you like the designs of these ships I'd say give her a whirl.

A welcome DLC with 3 ships and a new 'dredging' mechanic with associated crew skills. These ships are beautifully detailed and animated. Plenty of free-roam on the decks too. There are six habitats and you can fish out all these areas 'very fast' in the large ship so I find scallops are best for a 'filler' between other fish/crab/lobster seasons, and it works :) Get this DLC even if like me, you are hesitant to fish for stinky scallops lol.

great dlc i love it, one thing is the boats don't trun right. Hopefully there will be more dlc's in the furture Hopefully and new boats has will!!!

I suggested the addition of a Scallop DLC a about 6 months after the games released. Not long after the request I had seen the leaks for it and was pretty stoked being that I am a Scalloper in the North Atlantic. I am very excited to see what this company has the do in the future! Scalloper approved!

I've been having this awhile, but am just now getting to play it again. I can't believe I didn't try out the scallops right away! It's pretty fun! I am using the Ocean Scout ship with a full crew. Nice. :) I did have to do some diggin to find out how long the scallops last on my ship since they have a catch timer, but you can haul in some major money with these little fellas. If you really like this game, you will like this DLC as well.

Very buggy mess. Kind of what i have come to expect from this team. Needs fixing badly.

A useful addition to the main game. However, the price is a bit too high for the translation not even to be finished

Three nice looking boats and a new method of fishing! Recommended to anyone who enjoys this sim.

Ever since Scallops has came out the game has been borked workers will freeze when doing their jobs. Fish Radar isnt accurate. Boats jam up. Its horrible

i'm not sure how an entire DLC is released when the whole purpose of the expansion doesn't even work! i really hope a patch is released ASAP to correct this because i do enjoy this game as a whole but that felt like a total waste of money!

Great DLC!! Must buy :) Really adding to the experiance. Love it!

I don't often change my mind, but the dev team has worked really hard ironing out the bugs from my old review. it is like a different game from release. With the all the little tweaks like sharks, whales, etc it has made the game more enjoyable. I have no issues changing this from not recommenced to recommended, As the team are showing so much commitment to getting the updates out. Thank you! Old Review "I have to admit I was a little disappointed. Tutorial does not work with any current saved games (not for me) and I spent a fair amount of time trying. So after creating a new game going through the harpooning stuff the CAT just started homing in. I moved out of the way the first time, it then came back ran right into my starter boat and dragged me along like it was stuck to it. I had to fast travel to get off the ferry, at which point i headed to yarmouth dock and it continued to the point that the starter boat manged to sink the ferry! After starting a new game getting enough cash I got the old ben again and the tutorial showed the location to go to on the map at last. This took over 4 hours to get to this point it worked from there. I don't recall though seeing any info regarding having to restart a new game? below video so some of the initial pain. https://youtu.be/9TuFNTST4UQ"

**UPDATE** As of 16 Oct, 2021, I can say that I have not ran into the issues that I found when I first purchased the DLC. It seems that the Developer kept true to their word and worked to fix the bugs which is appreciated. I would be comfortable recommending this DLC for purchase. **END OF UPDATE** As of today, 14 Aug 2021, I can't recommend purchasing this DLC. The nets have a tendency to bug out which prevents them from being hauled. There's also the issue of "invisible" scallops that can't be processed by either you or your crew but count as being onboard the ship. Both of these problems prevent you from saving your game since you're either "trawling" or "hauling". Save your money for the time being and avoid purchasing this DLC until a patch is released fixing these issues. This should have been caught in QC for a $17 DLC (CDN)
