SMOKED SCALLOPS, BLACK RICE, "PISTACHIO SHELL & VANILLA BEAN SMOKING CHIPS" = WON-DER-FUL!!!!!

I was at the market getting a snapper for tonights steamed fish with ginger & shallot & I saw these.


Delivered fresh probably from Tassie. Chinese like them steamed in the shell with aromatics. 

I have something in the pipeline using these but it has to wait a few days yet.The light rail ,think tram,opens its new link next week. Station at the end of my street maybe 100m away. 5 stops to the fish market.

They are about $1.20 each.Queensland flat shell variety same price.

We have scallop season down in Florida and try to go at least once a year to gather bay scallops. I will be trying this next season. I'm thinking a shorter time on the smoker as bay scallops are quite a bit smaller then the sea scallops you are using. Can't wait to give it a try.
