The
next Food on Friday is all about
succulent scallops – one of the best seafoods - in my opinion anyway.
These
crumbed scallops were tasty but the
crumb didn't stick quite as I would have liked.
Any suggestions for improvement are most welcome.
I
used a punnet of fresh scallops which had been prepared. But there was still the odd little brownish
bit so I cleaned that all off – a bit fiddly but important in my opinion. I left the coral on (the orange bit) – we regard that as
essential.
I
patted the scallops as dry as I could and then double dredged them in egg and
panko breadcrumbs.
I
shallow fried the scallops – if I had a deep frier that would probably have
been better.
They
don't need much time in the pan at all – if you cook them more than about 2 to
3 minutes you risk getting little rubberised balls.
I
served it with a sweet chilli mayonnaise – some mayo with sweet chilli sauce, a
smidgen of hot chilli jam and salt and pepper.
I think a little lemon juice in it would have been good although I did
have lemon wedges on the side.
I find this one of the best ways to prepare scallops:

ReplyDeleteScallops are usually plentiful in Florida so we get them when the budget allows. I like both sea and bay scallops.
ReplyDeleteYour version sounds like it has a nice zing.
I love acallops! These look yummy.
ReplyDeletethat sweet chili mayo sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteMy father-in-law would love this.
ReplyDeleteI've never cooked scallops. With all the seafood we have here, scallops are not that common. If I find some and give them a go, I'll be sure to not turn them into "rubberised balls!"
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking this week, Carole. Sweet chilli mayonnaise sounds like it would be good on/with many things.
