love them, love them, love them. Especially freshly caught and boiled and served with a knob of butter. They don't taste the same once they have been out of the sea for more than an hour or two.
I love scallops but they are too expensive, maybe for a special occasion, The last lot I had were frozen, which tends to take taste out of them, but they were lovely fried in butter and served with cream.
I remember years ago my brother in law, a seafaring man coming home with a bucket of them and just throwing them in a cauldron of boiling water in their shells. We ate them with just fresh bread - we made total pigs of ourselves! I have never tasted anything so good!!
I agree Gran. But when I see the price, I don't think they are worth it, because they just aren't special enough when they are not fresh. Fortunately, I don't live too far from the sea so we get pretty good fish round here generally. Haven't had scallops for a long while though.
