Steps:
- Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
- Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.
EASY FRIED SCALLOPS
I experimented with some ways to cook scallops one night with my family. This was everyone's favorite and it has become a regular dish at our family fry nights. If serving as a main dish, make twice as many servings as people (about 8 scallops per person).

- Immerse 4 or 5 scallops in the bowl of buttermilk. Transfer to the flour mixture; roll around until thickly coated.

CRISP PAN-FRIED SCALLOPS
These scallops are pan-fried, but the effect is very similar to deep-fried. Panko crumbs or flakes are Japanese-style bread crumbs. They're coarser and more irregularly shaped than regular bread crumbs, and although they look fresh, they're dry. When used for frying, they absorb less oil and make a lighter, crunchier, more tender and delicate coating that stays crisp longer than ordinary coatings.

Steps:
- Rinse the scallops and pat dry. If they differ in size, cut the larger ones in half crosswise. In a bowl, whisk the egg with the milk, salt, and pepper. Add the scallops and toss gently to coat. Spread the panko on a flat plate and generously coat each scallop.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking. Carefully add about half of the scallops, one at a time. Cook on the first side for 3 or 4 minutes, until golden brown. (If the panko is browning too quickly, reduce the heat.) Turn over the scallops with tongs and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Place the cooked scallops on paper towels to soak up extra oil. Fry the rest of the scallops. Serve with lemon wedges.
- Look for panko in bags or boxes in Asian markets or supermarkets. We often use Sun Luck brand, but any brand with good ingredients is fine.
- Ask for "dry" or untreated scallops, ones that have not been treated with STP solution (sodium tripolyphosphate), a preservative.
- Serve on a bed of rice with a steamed green vegetable, Peas & Escarole (page 190), or
- refreshing Carrot Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette (page 217).
FRIED SCALLOPS
Use large sea scallops, which are often labeled "u/10" or "u/12," which stands for under 10 or 12 to a pound. And try to get dry scallops as opposed to wet ones, which have been treated with chemicals to extend their shelf life and add moisture. Dry scallops exude much less liquid when cooked and have better texture and flavor. These untreated scallops often tend to be less bright white, but your fishmonger should be able to tell you for sure what you're buying.

Steps:
- Combine flour, corn flour and baking powder in a medium-size aluminum baking pan and shake around to mix well.
- Dry scallops with paper towels, then dip both sides in flour mixture and shake off any excess.
- Put a 20-inch iron skillet over a propane gas burner and turn burner to high. Add enough oil to come to a depth of just over 1/4 inch. Heat until oil is hot but not smoking; you can test it by dropping a small piece of scallop into the oil; it should bubble furiously.
- When oil is hot, add scallops in batches small enough so they're not crowded, and cook just until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and eat right away.

Steps:
- The amount of scallops depends on their size, and of course, how much you want to eat!
- Scallops (no shell) with their roe if you can get them, as the nice orange colour of the roe looks good and more important it tastes good!
- Streaky bacon is best because of the fat in it. You want about 3 or 4 rashers each.
- Fry the bacon in a pan over a moderate heat until nice and brown and only just starting to get crispy.
- With the bacon still in the pan, add the scallops and move them about in the pan to get them nicley coated with all the pan juices. They will only take a couple of minutes to cook.
- It's as simple as that! Serve immediately.
