I love seafood and I make it often but if I want a real treat, I buy either lobster or scallops. Now if I have to really choose between the two, I’d pick scallops. I know most people wouldn’t and lean more towards the lobster. Hey don’t get me wrong, it’s a feast when I eat lobster but it’s also one when I get to enjoy my scallops with their delicate flavor.
There are a few recipes I like to make with scallops in an appetizer like my Scallop Pineapple Ceviche, in sashimi called Hotategai or as a main course in my Sautéed Scallops in Beurre Blanc. During the coldest months, there’s another way I enjoy them and it’s in my Bay Scallop Chowder!
Like many soups or chowders, this is an easy recipe. It’s also quite tasty with its beautiful combination of fresh ingredients. What I like about this Bay Scallop Chowder is I can serve it as an appetizer but also as a main course along with Crusty Bread.
I use those little guys… you know, the ones you find in the bag at the frozen section. They’re perfect for this dish. Adding big scallops wouldn’t be right aesthetically, they’re a lot more expensive plus they’re not bit-sized either. So when I thaw them out, there’s always juice at the bottom of the bag. I don’t discard it… no, no, no! I add it along with the seafood in the chowder. C’mon, it gives more flavor to the recipe.
This Bay Scallop Chowder is delicious, comforting and also quite elegant to serve during the Holidays or anytime during the winter. If you enjoy scallops as much as I do, this is a fantastic dish to make…
Bon Appétit!
