  1. I have to admit that I have never had scallops even while I was eating meat as we do not live close to the sea.

  6. That looks delicious! I’ve only recently liked scallops. I think the first time I had them, like 30 years ago, I thought they were rubbery.

  14. I love scallops, but haven’t had any in over a year. They have become too expensive. Most seafood goes great with lemon. I bet this is delicious. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
