Growing up, I always thought it was exotic. I've been on a quest to try all kinds of seafood ever since. It rules. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 10:13
my familiy is 50/50 seafood lovers/haters. I think it actually tastes different to the haters. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:09 2
- I guess there might be a genetic or developmental component to liking seafood -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:17 1
  - the haters and lovers seem to have been that way from birth, in my family, and it never changes in their lifetime. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:18
Total agreeance. I love seafood ... except for scallops. Can't stand scallops. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:09 30
- This might be the most wrong thing ever. Scallops are the best. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:10 27
  - I had a bad experience. However, I suspect that if I prepared the scallops *myself*, I might be able to find an appealing recipe -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:15 11
    - Season with salt and pepper, heat them thru in a pan with some butter and white wine, dip in garlic butter. You're welcome :) -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:17 10
      - I would skip the wine ... and I like beaker's BBQ idea -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:19 9
        
        The alcohol evaporates anyway. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:20 7
        
        Everyone says that (and my coworker confirms that ethanol evaporates at 82 celsius), but I am still doubtful. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:26 6
        
        it's no good to pour pure alcohold on food it has to have some kind of taste -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:31
        
        No worries. Just straight butter works. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:31 2
        
        *breaks out the box of anhydrous clarified milkfat* - znufrii Dec 7, 10:35
        
        I do like me some butter. *eats another pecan butter tart* -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:32
        
        Are you allergic to alcohol? Also, if it's added toward the end of the cooking, not all of it will evaporate, obvie. -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 10:30 1
        
        No, I have a psychological aversion to it. I try to avoid it in all forms, although lately I've become a bit less concerned about having in food. - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:32
        
        ooh, *replaces the wine with, of all things, peprika* -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:20
  - LOVE scallops! -- nm - zork Dec 7, 10:15
  - but they have to be made perfectly and they are easy to mess up - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:13
  - especially wrapped in bacon. -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 10:11 11
    - Word. - znufrii Dec 7, 10:12 10
      - we make ours fresh and cook them on the BBQ :) -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 10:13 9
        
        nice. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 10:17 1
        
        I think my next recipe for them will add a bit of sriracha to the sugar/curry mixture... - znufrii Dec 7, 10:19
        
        can you find large scallops in the market anymore? - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:16 6
        
        That's the sort of thing that goes to Whole Foods first, but yeah -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 10:22
        
        every grocery store here -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 10:20 3
        
        $11.99/lb is standard unfortunately. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:22 2
        
        or higher -- nm - 'lia Dec 7, 10:24 1
        
        That's as high as it gets here. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:25
        
        sure. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:17
  - Chicken (of the land) is the best. -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:10
- I really hate scallops. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:09 1
  - My reaction to it is like Mos Def/Left Ear from The Italian Job ... "I had. A bad. Experience." -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:11
You've never been more correct. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:08
