    Have never tried - not a huge seafood fan. (for the record, I wouldn't even classify me as a "moderate" seafood fan either LOL. If it's ALL that's offered, there's a real chance I'll opt to go hungry,, depending on what the offering is)

    So far this is the only seafood I don't like.
    1 out of many ain't bad I guess.

    I have a cast iron pan for these. It was originally made for a Danish apple pastry. Can't remember exactly, but something like "alpenskiver"

    It has 7 small semi-spherical compartments.
    Add a dollop of garlic butter.
    Half a slice of bacon.
    Jumbo scallop.
    Fold the bacon over and pin with a toothpick.
    Some cheese of your choice.
    Bake 15 minutes.
    WOW!!!!

    I thought I would love them, but turned out... Not so much. Something about the texture weirded me out.

    I'm guessing either pesto or chimichurri.

    Huh? Thanks! What do you know. I just googled chimichurri sauce. Never heard of it before today. I think I'd like it. Always get'n edu-ma-cated. Glad I asked.

    That's because you didn't wrap them in bacon...

    Scallops can get kind of rubbery if they're overcooked. Otherwise, to me it's about the same texture as a dense whitefish, minus the flaky.

    These weren't rubbery/overcooked. I tried them at a seafood place with great fish, off my mom's order. She loves scallops, said they were cooked beautifully. Not a big deal.

    Just thought I'd check. I know some people try them and say they'd rather get a chew toy because they were that overcooked. :wink:
