Method

Diver Scallops

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Pat the diver scallops dry with a paper towel and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Scallops

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Add butter to the skillet during the last minute of cooking for added flavor.

Tartar Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix Tartar Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.

Malt Vinegar Fries

    Prepare the Fries

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Fry the cut potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove fries and drain on paper towels.

  3. 6

    Season the Fries

    Drizzle malt vinegar over the fries and season with salt to taste before serving.
