are scallops the best food ever?

[nageov3t]

100 calories, 20 grams of protein, and 10 minutes from raw to prep'd and plated ftw. :heart:

I'd eat them a lot more if they weren't so expensive, but yes they're in my top 10 foods.

Edit - sigh.... OP below.

Oh how the taste buds can differ.

One of the most disgusting foods according to my taste buds on the planet.

Most cases yes, but for the sweet tooth, nothing beats slurping straight condensed milk.

While good, I'm gonna have to go with a no on this one, there, bubba.

and you can wrap a scallop in bacon!

I love scallops. :thumbsup:

Dungeness crab > clam muscle.

I like shrimp over scallops. The tender, juicy, kinda rubbery kind. If prepared right, shrimp > all other seafood.

So I'm the only one so far who absolutely can't stand scallops? :Q

Eat back or shoulder bacon, it's fine and tastes delicious.

You couldn't be more wrong.

deep fried softshell crab
alaskan king crab legs
sea scallops
raw oysters (if you know what you're eating)
lobster (steamed, not boiled)

I love scallops, but find them to be one of the more difficult seafoods to prepare well. When ordering them at restaurants, more than half the time I see to end up with overcooked little rubbery balls. One of the local chinese restaurants does an outstanding job preparing them. And I love to wrap them with half cooked bacon & quickly cook them in the broiler.

Pork bone marrow is the best. Only cool people know this.

I went to Joe's Crab Shack, using the free steam pots coupon, got the "classic" steam pot. First time I have had Dungeness - DAMN that was good crab!

scallops in bacon cream sauce ftw!

Absolutely not. The flavor is somewhat nasty, but the texture is God awful. Horrible. Ugh.

I concur. Of all the shellfish I dislike...scallops are the worst.

My wife on the other hand, LOVES the nasty things.

you scallop haters are blaspheming! not cool!

 

[BaboonGuy]

scallops are really easy to f up methinks. i thought i hated scallops too until i had one prepared right. fresh and perfectly seared = creamy goodness
