The top price at dockside auctions was $7.95 a pound for scallops, which have been in short supply because of rough weather and holiday demand, said fisheries specialist Paul Swain. He estimated that the scallops would retail at about $9.50 a pound. The old record, $7.86, was set Friday and the previous high, $7.75, was recorded in October and December, 1983. The 1986 high was $7.60, paid Dec. 17.
