I was considering adding that to the post where I recommended poaching,
because I figured smoking OUGHT to work, but since I've never had smoked
scallops I didn't want to go out on a limb and recommend smoking. Given
your recommendation maybe I'll give it a try -- assuming I ever see scallops
as large as the OP described! IIRC the OP said that they were 2 1/2 inches
in diameter and 1 1/2 inches high, which is larger than I generally see
around here.
