Scallops...

I have some friends that are coming to Nola soon and she loves scallops. She wants to know where is the best place to have them---some place not terribly expensive. I don't like scallops, therefore I truly don't know what to tell her. What ya got??? TIA

Check to see if Boucherie has some. I've had some good ones there that aren't very expensive.

Is La Creole still open in BR? I had their BBQ scallops about 3 years ago. It's worth driving that far for from NO.

If you are in BR, Gouter on government has a nice scallop dish and not terribly expensive.
Get the Wild PB&J dish as well.

Seriously though, scallops are even easier to cook than a steak.

These are very good. I've been smoking scallops the last two years since I first had the ones at Boucherie.
If you friend wants to try different places, hit up Boucherie for dinner, the prices are same all day. Makes for an expensive lunch but reasonable dinner.

I can never seem to get the perfect sear I'm looking for and that I've had in restaurants.

Boucherie sounds awesome! Thanks! They want to stay in Nola--not renting s car.

I pat them dry several times. It really helps.

Let them air dry on a rack in the fridge for a bit after you pat dry.
And get the cast iron scorching hot. If you aren't setting off the smoke alarm, you aren't hot enough.

Also use ghee instead of butter. It helps to minimize the smoke and you don't get that burnt butter taste.

Put them in a dry Teflon skillet and press lightly so the entire surface is hitting the pan. Medium high and don't touch. They will stick then pop loose when seared. Pat the dry first as said.
No butter or oil needed and they will sear evenly.

G W Fins has a signature "scallibut" dish that she will probably enjoy.

I've sauted andouille first and then placed my scallops in that. Cut a slit in the scallop and slide the sausage inside. Pretty good imo

Root had scallops smoked in a cigar box. They are no longer on the regular menu but may do them as a special occasionally.
