Scallops

Method

Prepare Scallops

  1. 1

    Clean and Season

    Rinse the jumbo sea scallops under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Prepare Breading

  1. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first, beat the eggs with milk in the second, and pour the Hawaiian style panko breadcrumbs into the third.

Frying Scallops

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large pot or deep frying pan, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 4

    Bread Scallops

    Take each scallop and dredge it in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 5

    Fry Scallops

    Carefully place the breaded scallops in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Prepare Chips

  1. 6

    Cut Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick chips (about 1/2 inch thick).

  2. 7

    Fry Chips

    In a separate pot, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato chips in batches and fry them for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

Serve

  1. 8

    Plate and Enjoy

    Serve the crispy fried scallops alongside the chips. Enjoy your Scallops and Chips with a wedge of lemon for extra flavor!
