Welcome to the FOrum, Arkansas Egg. Lots of good info here.

I recently posted a scallop cook:

Enjoy!

If you have nice fresh scallops it's hard to beat them seared on a hot cast iron skillet in butter with a little seasoning.

That sounds amazing! Can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.

I am looking to do that since I saw the lobster tails and scallops post. kroger wanted $15/lb which was just a little pricey for me...will check some other fish houses as well. I had to stop my butcher shop visits, his prices went out of the roof over night!
