re: Do you dip scallops in anything?

A bit of brown butter, parsley fried in the brown butter and a bit of lemon juice is also good.

What kind of what? Bacon or gum gouger?

Best way to eat them. Rarely do I order them in a restaurant.

Here's a nice scallop preparation.

I make an herb-butter sauce with shallots, parsley, butter, garlic, white wine, etc.

I pretty much make a similar sauce (sometimes tweak things.. like capers or whatever) for all seafood dishes.

I did swordfish the other night and did the same kind of sauce with all of the brown bits that were in the pot from searing the large swordfish steak, and it was so rich and a nice brown color.

The OP was asking a question which is one of the great things about this forum. She got recommendations and went with a butter, lemon, garlic sauce with what she had on hand and which she enjoyed. She learned something new.
