Seafood - Liz? Pam?

I am slowly trying new seafood - love tilapia and flounder - hate shrimp!  I had scallops the other night with my brothers.  They were wrapped in bacon... delicious!  What are other ways to prepare scallops?  Any other mild seafood suggestions?

I'm not the culinary expert, but I do know that scallops are excellent when steamed with a little garlic. One of my favorite seafoods. And this way, there is NO fat added!

Thanks so much.  I will try that!

Beth,

Try pan-searing the scallops.  It's really easy.  (I had posted a recipe for them on here last month (should be almost exactly a month ago...  let me know if you can't find it and I'll see if I have it in a separate file).   Basically takes about 5 mins total to do.  It's a dish I usually make with a little sauteed yellow and green squash with onions and a little bit of bacon (be careful - bacon is usually sugar-cured, so quantities count!) or bacon bits.  Very tasty, very easy.

Other suggestions for mild seafood...

Mahi-Mahi  (mild white fish)
Bronzino (mediterranean white fish)
Salmon (my personal favorite - just don't overcook it and don't try the canned stuff - yuck!)
Swordfish  (more dense and meaty white  fish)
Tuna (can be more dense - dark fish... for best taste do NOT cook it all the way through - just lightly pan sear on the outside - try Iron Hill Brewery's Ahi Tuna appetizer for a great example)

Hope this helps!

Thanks Karen - my SIL said something about  pan-searing.  I had Mahi-Mahi tacos a couple of weeks ago at the Chesapeake Inn.  They were yummy!  My dad, brothers and I are going flounder fishing next weekend.  Can't wait for fresh-off-the-boat fish!

I love seafood!  We grill or steam on the grill or pan sear scallps, tilapia, salmon, etc...
lemon, garlic, salt pepper...YUM

Karen-your new picture is lovely-YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!!!

Hi Kate - I am afraid to grill fish... I am not  good at grilling.

Karen made an awesome Tilapia for us today! She was going to psot it on the recipe thread.

I don't eat too much of a variety of seafood. I use my grill pan a lot (this is a pan you use on the stove inside - looks like a frying pan) You can also wrap the fish, some lemon, garlic a little olive oil in aluminum foil and bake in the oven.

I have seen those grill pans - maybe I will ask for one at Christmas or my birthday.  I have a George Forman grill - I could pull it out and experiment with it.

Easy recipe..

Take salmon, put on a piece of heavy duty foil and put salsa on top of it.  Wrap it up in the foil and either put on grill or in the oven.
