Nosh For Thought: In Season

With what is available to us here in the US, we are rather spoiled. What used to be a short period of the year to enjoy many food items is now a yearlong thing. We have 24/7 and Amazon access to everything we want.

I attempt to stay to my old fashioned roots and use fresh, in-season items. Pictured on the left is Sea Scallops from New England Fishmongers. The season is ending and I just had to grab them. Even though I could get them year round, maybe I am contributing to the sustainability of the product or just supporting the local fishery and the people that work in it. For a viewer:

1 -2# Sea Scallops. Try to have them all the same size to cook evenly.

For the dressing: 1/4C Mayo, 1 tsp Srircha, 1 tsp lime juice and a pinch of sugar. We can play with these ratios to have some fun.

Mix the dressing ingredients, take 1 TBSP and mix with scallops in another bowl.

Put the scallops in a shallow roasting pan, 500 degrees 5 minutes.

Take Scallops out, Put the oven to Broil. Flip scallops over and put a dollop of the reserved dressing. Put in broiler 2–3 minutes. Done!
