"As I've said B4, we love & eat a lot of seafood here in Iceland. In fact, we're now eating seafood for 50% of our meals & filling in w/other meat meals (usually meat bought on-sale). My grandparentsdotcom Newsletter has been the source of some of my most-favored recipes over the yrs & I think this recipe for scallops shared w/us from the FRESH FISH COOKBOOK by Jennifer T. Thompson will soon join that group of faves. My only issue w/the recipe is that JTT sees 4 oz of scallops as a dinner portion, but that wouldn't be the case at our house, esp when we entertain family or friends. I see this dish as an ideal starter course, but you can decide this for yourself. ENJOY!"

NOTE FROM ME - All of us know it's better to use fresh herbs vs dried herbs, but I don't always enjoy that luxury so I have given you the liberty of using dry herbs as I may have to do on occasion
