Might give it a try next scallops season. Haven't been able to go out diving this season so have an empty freezer. Hopefully will be out on the water all next season though  :)

If you are ever passing through Inglewood they have a great seafood restaurant there called Fish Funk.  A colleague and I stopped there for dinner a few weeks ago.  I ordered the scallops.  The owner said I'd get about 9 and as it was a quiet night they could do an assortment of - bacon wrapped, tempura batter and garlic sauteed.  Served with home cut fries and fresh salad.

I think I lost count at about 12 scallops - had to forego the yummy homecut chips so I could get through all the scallops.  The salad was fresh and had beetroot leaves (yum) with a gorgeous dressing.

The cost of my meal..... $30
