The following Bay Scallop recipes are some of my favorite, as mentioned in my previous post Martha’s Vineyard Bay Scallops. Sometimes simplicity works best and sometimes we add a bit more to it. Love Jamie Oliver’s recipe. Cooking in the shells feels like I’m getting the fullest flavor possible from our sea treasures. BAKED IN [...]
One of the best taste treats you will ever have! The Bay Scallops that are harvested in the late fall and through the winter are some of the sweetest, tastiest and most versitale harvests we have.
