This dish comes fromo ne of DC’s most delicious seafood restaurants, The Oceanaire. No doubt the biggest trick to replicating Oceanaire’s scallops is finding the freshest possible. Barring a close relationship with a wholesale distributor the best option you have is to strike up a conversation with a local seafood retailer. Simply ask when their scallops arrived and then ask to give them a sniff. If the answer was today, and you only smell the sea (no fishy or pungent odors) then you can be relatively certain that your scallops are of the highest quality possible.

Delish! Serve with Mac & Cheese.
