Several years ago I got a hankering to attempt the Feast of the Seven Fishes for our Christmas Eve dinner. I carefully selected recipes, ordered specialty items ahead from our local seafood market, and rewrote my plan of attack dozens of times before the big day arrived. I envisioned this becoming our new Christmas Eve traditional dinner and oh how that excited me.

I was looking through our Love Food Photography page and was reminded just how much I adore scallops. Particularly how much I worship the sweet fresh flavor of Sea Scallops. I thought it would be fun to gather my favorites in one post. To all the scallop lovers out there…you’re welcome. Continue reading »

This dish is the love child of two farmers markets visits in one day. I scored some gorgeous tomatoes at my morning market and sweet sea scallops from my evening market. Then in my one mile drive home I came up with this recipe. It’s that simple. Let me break down Seared Sea Scallops {over Tomato Bacon Jam & Herb Infused Grits} layer by layer. Continue reading »

Steamed Mussels, Shrimp & Sea Scallops.
This was last Sunday’s dinner. We posted a preview pic on facebook looking for a catchy name for this pot of love. The responses ranged from Shellfish Goodness to Seafood Delight, Call Me for Supper, and Shell-fish-pa-looza. All of which could aptly label this fabulous dish. Continue reading »

We found such a bargain on Sea Scallops. Great big juicy sea scallops. I believe the steep price tag is what keeps me from eating them every day. But I do love them. We bought eight (should have bought more) and decided to prepare them two ways. My choice was Asian Noodles with Seared Sea Scallops. Continue reading »

Pan Seared Sea Scallops with Basil Pesto Pasta.
Fill my pasta bowl with capellini tossed in fresh Basil Pesto and I am one happy camper. Top it with pan seared scallops and I’m liable to do a back flip. Something I’d regret in the morning. Continue reading »

Sea Scallops. Sweet. Juicy. Hint of ocean breeze.
Is it wrong that I’ve put Whole Foods on my list of things I’m thankful for? Whole Foods inspires me in many ways….to try unique produce items, to dabble in International cooking, to grow bamboo, to someday cook a whole fish (head on), to eat more whole grains, to drink better wine….I could go on and on.

Pan Seared Sage Brown Butter Scallops {with Sweet Pea Puree}. Not sure if I need to say more.
LOVE the Sea Scallops, they are such a huge treat. Simply pan searing them with a sprinkle of salt & pepper is all they really need….but huh huh we gave them a little more. If you’re going to sear them in butter anyway, why shouldn’t it be in that seductive favorite Sage Brown Butter. Continue reading »
