mmm...Georges Bank scallops

When I first moved to the Boston area from landlocked central Texas, I expected to find delicious and cheap seafood everywhere. All they had to do was pull it out of the sea, right? I was a little surprised to find that while the seafood was good, it really wasn't any cheaper than what I could get in Texas.

Until yesterday. Fresh sea scallops from Georges Bank, off the Massachusetts coast. Cheaper than farm-raised salmon. Available for a limited time. Delicious, creamy, fresh-never-frozen sea scallops. Sauteed in butter with a smidge of garlic, just one minute per side. Could there possibly be a more perfect food?
