I bought some frozen ones this morning for a seafood lasagne for my d-i-l.
The supermarket that has the best fresh fish has had several cases of
covid among the staff. I don't feel like risking a visit there.

I buy frozen sea scallops and here's why. The raw sea scallops in the
seafood case aren't straight off a boat. They always have a sign in
front of them that says "previously frozen". I appreciate Publix being
transparent about that but why would I want to buy previously frozen
(then thawed scallops when I can buy a 1 lb. resealable bag of flash
frozen sea scallops for half the price? I've never been disappointed in
them and I can portion out as many or as few as I want and thaw them
myself. I love, love, love scallops!

Back some years when I was still diving I used to get a scallop
licence, C$5 per year which entitled me to 100 scallops per dive. You
have not tasted scallops until you taste them fresh out of the water,
totally different to frozen. These were fresh from the water and can
I ever taste the difference.

Of course you can. I was merely saying why I buy the frozen rather than
the "fresh previously frozen" which are the only kinds available down
here in Southern SC. There will never be an opportunity for me to taste
the fresh scallops you dove for or had a scallops diving license for in
Canada.

scallops?

They are the perfect simple dinner. Make sure they are nice and dry,
season with a little salt and pepper, heat up a pan, apply just a tiny
bit of oil, slap the scallops on for a bit, flip them over and eat.
Just make sure there is a good sear on them for taste and texture. They
don't need to be cooked all the way through.

I never use oil, definitely they mate better with butter.

I asked this morning if they were local and they are, we are also in
touch with a local fisherman so for the time being we are all back to
fish, glorious fish, not what's left over after all the good stuff is
exported.

I managed them all, it was a duty really, they wouldn't taste as good
tomorrow

Given the price of scallops around here, I would consider 3-4 to be a
serving for one. If price were no object I would eat them by the dozen.
I love scallops, and this is my favourite way to cook them.
