Surf & Surf (Lone Bear Supper)


This is a Meal that Mrs Bear never joins me with (No Fish of any kind), but I Still Love It !!!
I have my Best Fish results from my #360 Air Fryer, but my Scallops need to be Pan Fried to get my favorite Buttery flavor.
So I cut a Catfish Fillet in half & got it Breaded earlier in the day & put in the Fridge.
I also put 17 nice Sea Scallops in a container, with a little Olive Oil & some Old Bay.

Then a few hours later I put the Catty Fillets in the Wire Basket, on 2nd position, with the Baking Pan under it on the 3rd position.
Then I set the Heat for 400°, set on “Roast”, and set the timer for 30 minutes, to avoid an auto-shut-off.
Then I paused & checked the Temp @ 20 minutes, and they weren’t quite ready.
I checked again @ 22 minutes & they were @164° and 186°, so I removed them.

While this was happening to my Fish, I was also Pan Frying those 17 Sea Scallops in Butter in my Copper Pan.

Then I plated one of my Fillet pieces, and about half of the Scallops with a nice dollop of Sandwich Spread (for Tartar Sauce).

Then the next day, for a change of taste, I plated the other Fillet & the rest of the Scallops with some “Frank’s Red Hot”.
These two meals were very Tasty to this old Bear.


Thanks for stopping by,

Bear

Looks Mighty Tasty to me, I love Scallops and that fish ! Looks like it came right out of a deep fryer.
Gunna have to try fish in my air fryer. I did do Hush-puppies in it last night, turned out perfect.

I "LIKE" it

There you go a nice seafood dinner with 2 fine tasting meats. You got me on using that sandwich spread for tartar sauce its great.

Nice.

Oddly enough while the wife was away seeing her sister I did the same exact thing just with a couple of flounder fillets.

Do you get fresh scallops or previously frozen out your way?
 
Looks fantastic!! Scallops are my wife’s favorite so I cook them once in awhile and always for anniversary dinner. Your wife sounds like my brother in law, hates meats from the water so much he once told me if a cow swam in the water he’d reject the beef LOL. Great looking meal , big like!

Frozen, but at least These are Frozen Individually, so I can take as many out as I want, because they aren't all frozen on a Big Lump.
