the Thai curry scallops is our favorite appetizer here. Also some very creative scallop entree. Normally a couple of nightly scallop specials as well as the regular menu. Our favorite restaurant around here

It's been about 100 years since we ate in Soule Domain. It's wonderful.

IMHO wrapping scallops in anything is a shame, they have sich a great flavor, it is a shame for it to get overwhelmed by bacon.

Here you go. (My recipe.)

Robin loves mussels. I love clams. Luckily one of our favorite local restaurants has a mixed shell appetizer with a great white wine, garlic, butter sauce.

Nice menu. If I ever get out to that area I will have to try that restaurant, more that one thing I like on that menu. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds delicious. I looked up a recipe. I happen to have 2 of the 12 ingredients on hand. Pretty sure it's a sign from the seafood gods that I have to try this.

Today I took my wife to lunch at the Jersey Shore, crab cake sandwiches and spicy french fries. The only thing better might be a corned beef on rye bread but that's the other thread.

I'm not a fan of curry seafood/fish. The sauce overpowers the seafood/fish's natural taste.

Agree with you there. Love Curry. Love Scallops. Feel like you're wasting the scallops a bit by covering with curry sauce, although I'm sure it tastes great.

Curry is for old fish.

As I write this , my wife is frying up some scallops, just a little garlic and lemon. From PEI, with no preservatives. They taste so much better than the treated ones.

Oh, and apparently I am cooking some pasta to go with them. Scallops and pasta. mmmmm....mmmmmm

There are many different kinds of curry. Some heavy & spicy. Some light and rich. Some goes well with fish. Some doesn't. Much depends on the preparation and/or restaurant. The curry should compliment the fish rather than overwhelm.

Have to agree that bad restaurants will often use bad/old fish and cover them in curry. Stay away from those joints.

I like chicken or lamb in curry

Exactly. I've had some awesome Thai green curry fish stews with scallops that complimented the delicate scallops as opposed to overwhelming them. The art is in the hands of the chef.

... but those two starters require very different curries. What KG said applies to everything - the curry must fit the primary.
See egg curry and goat curry.
We could start a whole new thread on "what is a curry?".

Is this an attempt to curry favor with the boss?

Where did they come from? Seems early for blue claw crabs, they might be still down in the mudd in my neck of the woods.
