    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 It was originally made for a Danish apple pastry.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.

    Looks like chimichurri sauce.

    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:
