I can buy prime rib for half that. I do enjoy most seafoods a lot.

Make soup out of them.


All we get are the little bitty ones, and frozen.

We like to quick sear them in butter, then sometimes we drizzle just a bit of real Maple syrup on them. Can't cook them for long or you'll ruin them. I like them raw right off the boat, washed down with a few cold ones!

A week or three ago when the first scallop draggers moved to Kodiak they had not developed a market and you could buy them off the boat for a very reasonable price. We always sent a couple redheads down to the dock to ensure a better price. It worked.

It was amazing how huge the scallops were! Some were simply stunning. But they all ate the same. Literal dinner-plate-sized monsters.

More than a few times a five pound bag disappeared after a skinny dip in shoyu and wasabi followed by a sprint in front of spirits.... but in a three-way with just the bag, and a couple pervs.

WOW, those suckers look great! I'd love to hear how you all prepare them.

My current way is a screaming hot cast iron pan, little bit of EVOO and some butter, wrap the scallops in a piece of good bacon and sear them 2 minutes a side. Then I throw them on the Traeger at 300 for a couple of minutes. Haven't ever had a bad one yet.

I am all ears to how you all cook them though.

This sounds like a pretty good way to do it to me. But I'm a scallop greenhorn.

When we get good ones.....we sort of wave them near the grill and then eat them.

Not right from the dock, but high quality scallops at Wegman’s, $15.00 a lb.

Far as I am concerned you can skip the wave if you like...

The trick with bacon-wrapped scallops, is to use the precooked bacon. Otherwise, either the bacon is not cooked, or the scallops are overcooked. Tip from sitka deer.

When I do them thataway, I just use a hot grill for a couple minutes per side. Just enough to put scorch marks on them.

I'd post pics, but can't do that from my tablet.

far as i'm concerned the only way to eat them would be fresh, otherwise you do have to burn, douse or wrap them with flavor.

Chop up some of those tiny ones and mix in some wasabi mayo. Serve it on some sushi rice or a cracker, or in a sushi roll. No suckage to be found.
