One of the things that gave us comfort during all of this covid-19 craziness has been at least looking at menus of restaurants we used to go to. One such restaurant I’ve been stalking is one of our favorite Charleston haunts, FIG. This recipe came directly as a copycat, even though I never actually ate…

Seafood a la Wando (Reboot)
Way back in 2012 I posted about one of my favorite dishes in Charleston, SC, Seafood a la Wando at Hank’s Seafood. It is indeed still one of my favorites. The crispy grit cakes, the fresh seafood, the rich buttery cream sauce. Oh and mushroom, bell pepper and green onion add earthiness, color and crunch….
Seared Scallops, Wilted Local Kale and Pecorino Romano Cheese Grits
Scallops are amazing. I’ve said before, they are the steak of the sea. They cook in no time at all and done properly, taste great. This meal was simply an excuse to eat scallops. I bought the local scallops and had no other plan than them. We got home and had some fresh local kale…
Seared Scallops, French Green Lentils, Rainbow Chard, Purple Carrots with Satsuma and Soy Vinaigrette

Seared Scallops, Succotash and Tomato and Herb Salad

Any excuse to eat them when out or making them at home is taken. These were fresh diver scallops, never frozen. Soooo,…
Local SC Shrimp and Scallops with Udon Noodles
So easy and so fresh, this is a winner in my book. When you can get local, fresh seafood I feel I must. These South Carolina shrimp and scallops were outstanding and could have been served with just about anything. The udon cook in no time at all and you can add whatever vegetables you…
Surf and Surf (Scallops, SC Shrimp), Carrot-Ginger-Orange Puree, Edamame-Arugula Salad with Cilantro-Yuzu Pistou
Scallops inspired this dish. I was craving scallops. When I think scallops, I think light. This entire dish was designed to be light on the palate and the stomach. I think it worked out very well. I called it Surf and Surf (diver scallops and South Carolina white shrimp), carrot-ginger-orange puree, edamame-arugula salad with a…
