Lads! Who knew scallops would give you so much bang for your buck? I had them for din dins tonight with some steamed Brussels sprouts and a tbsp of Nandos light marinade and zomg they were so good. Soft but very filling!

Scallops were one of my staple foods early on. My nutritionist hated them, she kept saying, "There's nothing in them," meaning omega-3s and other stuff you get in fish. My reply was "They are full of protein and I can keep them down, so I'm eating them." I still eat them quite frequently. They're good, aren't they?

I love scallops. They feel completely decadent when they are actually lean and protein packed.

When I was growing up in Australia scallops fried in batter were A Thing at the fish and chip shop. I remember having them as a kid along with potato cakes and the 'fish' was usually shark (we're a weird mob) mmmmmm... Obvs that's a no-no now.
