Love them big sea scallops, fresh without the saline or whatever they inject when "processed".
Pull off that muscle thing, rinse em good and pat 'em dry, then a little s & p and some paprika on both sides, mix some olive oil and butter in the old cast iron skillet, 'bout a minute on each side or until a little browned.WHOA! are they sweeeeet
I don't eat them but have made them for others and this is pretty much the way I'd cook them. Bacon wrapped sea scallops are also a big hit for seafood fans. I know how to cook them but not a fan of eating them. Fake scallops are just wrong - made from stingray, skate, or shark and using a cookie cutter circle to make it look like a scallop.
There is a nice seafood market/restaurant/distributor in my area a few towns to the east in Fitchburg, MA. They have been around for ages.
https://sslobsterfitchburg.com/ They have great seafood (so I'm told). They have small limited seating restaurant, a small little market attached to it if you want to by fishy stuff and take it home. I see their delivery box trucks around town at most places that serve seafood in my neck of the woods.
If you are ever out in this area and crave seafood, I'd recommend the place.
