Bay Scallops (Nantucket) - 1/2lb

First of the season sweet bay scallops from the Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts.  These are arguably the sweetest scallop on the planet.  A real treat of the season.  Roughly 30-40pc per pound.

Sear in a very hot pan spaced evenly apart and caramelize on two sides.  Remove scallops and add a shot of brandy.  Reduce, add a bit of stock or cream and a pad of butter.  Stir and reduce for a lovely pan sauce.
