Sea scallops, Thanks for the link. Never thought to google Duh.

Cook them like you cook prawns ie. keep to the following principles:

If you want them firm/crunchy and not soggy, make sure your fire/oil is really hot, check that the scallops are relatively dry (pat with papertowel if they are soaking wet), throw them into the pan, don't fiddle with them too much in the pan (ok to turn them off and on but if you keep fiddling with them, they don't get a chance to caramelize and may become soggy) and lastly don't overcook them.

First lot eaten now, bit on the firm side so next time i will give your advice a try.

My Dad was a cook on the Australian coast for most of his life. From time to time, he would prepare for us at home, Curried Scallops. SWMBO doesn't care for them any more, so of course we don't ever have them. This being the case, I don't have his recipe.

However, follow this link to find a whole lot of scallop recipes Fred.
