Then pack them lightly in salt, reserve them in an airtight container, rinse, and make something fun.

Take the heads and spines and make a stock with them then add a great tomato sauce and fold into rice. Pretty damn good, I grew up on that.

Needs a lot of refining in the presentation department but all of the flavors are there. Hope to do this a few more times this month and have it look up to snuff.

Scallops & Potatoes, Version 1.0

Posted on July 2, 2011 by ericriveracooks

The scallops I bought from a store were absolutely atrocious, nothing close to the ones I get in the restaurant. I need to nail the size of the potato and scallop. Honey comb in the middle is nice and the muscat/orange vinaigrette was nice as well. Buy better scallops and fix potatoes then there might be something here.
