Having never tried them before, I am rather keen to add a good scallop recipe to my repertoire.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Also, I understand that the fishmongers along Groundwell Road has shut - the last remaining one in our great town. Where is the next nearest alternative vendor of fish and seafood?

Tesco's fish counter might be a possibility.... |

Sadly the supermarket produce is not fresh enough for my liking.
I am guessing there is one in Marlborough?

Fair enough...don't know of one in Marlborough, but you're ruling Waitrose out? There used to be a place in Ciren, but a long time since I've been there |

Simply is the answer. Pan fried with a sprinkling of salt & pepper, squeeze of lemon juice, serve with a nice salad and job done.
I'm not a huge fan of the coral mind.
Oh, and IMO, Morrison's have the best fresh fish counter of any of the major supermarkets. And we buy a lot of fish/seafood (normally have 2 or 3 fish meals per week).

My main issue with supermarkets, even Waitrose, is that I consider fish and seafood to be somewhat a specialist subject. I don't want someone less informed than myself to be handling my food.
I may have to bite the bullet on this one though.

Are they caught/dredged/dived for close enough to britain to make it here fresh? Edit: ahh fair enough, you posted just before I did. I'm always a knobhead for clicking through the 1 new reply in red thing. |

I have seen along Marlborough Road a house with a 'Grimsby Fish' van parked up on the driveway. I may have to commit myself to a cold call  |

Last time I was up in North Lincs it turned out there are now no deep sea trawlers working out of Grimsby, so I wonder whether "Grimsby Fish" is a fair reflection of what the guy sells! |

Queen scallops cooked simply as above.
King scallops.....wrap in streaky bacon and place on as skewer and grill with herbs and lemon juice.
Nice!!
Diver caught is best....many frozen Scallops can contain up to 40% ice glaze (water) and can be phosphate soaked...meaning nearly 50% is water..
Sorry to be boring...this is my bag.
