We were going to have beef stew tonight, but took a ride to the local brewery for some growler refills and passed by our favorite fish market on the way home. The sea scallops were hard to resist and beef stew got pushed back until tomorrow. Fried local Stonington sea scallops and fries.
And, @Shelby, in case you are wondering, Mccormicks Cracker meal (about 1/4 cup per lb, shake and bake style) does the sea scallops well in 375 degree peanut oil. It only takes a little more than a minute, in small batches, just keep checking for the golden brown color.
