I frequent a fish market right on the ocean every time we're in Maine and I always buy about 2 lbs. on each trip and freeze them!<br /><br />Your dish looks divine, and one that I will certainly try! I love the brightness of the green against the caramelized scallops!<br /><br />Your advice about seeking out the dry vs. buying the brined (wet) scallops is spot on! The aftertaste from the wet scallops in my opinion is nasty! <br /><br />I actually commented on "dry vs. wet" scallops a few weeks ago when I posted my scallop dish! And another thing. When you buy the wet scallops you're paying extra for the brine, which cooks out and makes it near impossible to pan-sear the scallops!<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend!<br /><br />MaryOcean Breezes and Country Sneezeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553409790617039932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-50588105854801818322012-03-30T17:37:56.096-04:002012-03-30T17:37:56.096-04:00These scallops look extraordinary, Sam...restauran...These scallops look extraordinary, Sam...restaurant styling and quality!!!
