Also, fingers crossed for you gettin it. I’ll trade you all the great Indian food you have there in the UK, though!

Nailed it! My brother-in-law is a Scalloper. I thought scallops were gross until my now-wife cooked em for me. Like savory Marshmallow Filet Mignon of the Sea.
Now if only I wasn’t allergic to clam and lobster. Nothing like living in the lobster and chowder capital of the world with an allergy.

Your not missing out much when it comes to lobsters as lobsters taste exactly like prawns

I’m not sure if I’m allergic to Prawns or not, though. Ditto with crab. I have one of those “don’t mess with it”-tier allergies with Lobster, so I avoid everything that has the same lobster deliciousness.
But yeah. I tend to focus on the Scallop more (no sauce) because a good scallop has a very delicate flavor. My favorite way to eat it is a little butter and some cracker crumb crust. I mean, I LOVE a good authentic carbonara enough that I learned to make my own pasta and cook it. But I don’t think I could bring myself to put scallops in it. Maybe scallops for lunch and carbonara for dinner!
