I absolutely LOVE fresh sea scallops anytime of year! They are a classy light seafood that is pulled from our oceans for fine dining, however they are most precarious on the pan and very easy to overcook. Timing and temperature is everything when making them the right way, so let us help you do it right.

If you pinch the skin in between your index finger and thumb, that is the exact consistency you want your seared scallops to adhere. They come out best when you actually poke them after searing them to see if the consistency matches well with the skin pinch I was telling you about earlier.

When buying fresh scallops, it is best to go to your local fish market to get the freshest scallop possible. You need to make sure the scallops are well cleaned as if they are not sometimes sand can sit in between the tiny crevices of the fresh scallop meat. Make sure you ask your local fish market expert to thoroughly clean them before they package them up for you just to be safe. Nothing is worse than a sandy seared scallop!

This recipe is super simple to arrange an hour or so before you want to serve you and your guests, whether they are friends or family alike, they will be impressed with your culinary mastery and unique ingredients.
