Ohhhhhh suffering scallops, though Hiccup <------What's the 'scallops' mean in this sentence?
Hello
I'm reading the book 'How to train your dragon'.
It's very interesting but some sentences are hard to me.
So I'd like to ask help.
Ohhhhhh suffering scallops, thought Hiccup <------What's the 'scallops' mean in this sentence?
If there were someone who already read this book and know what this means, please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Oops I made typo mistake. It's 'thought' not 'though' :)

It's a nonsense phrase, a kid-friendly synonym for "oh damn!". Used to express frustration or displeasure.
Similar to "sufferin succotash" by Sylvester the Cat in Looney Tunes
