Good one! Seafood is naturally low fat and yummy!

I'm 2 1/2 months and Ivan only eat 2 large scallops. I can't believe they cost So much, they are a dollar a scallop!

At Jenneliza: I ate 3 med. scallops, and they went down so well. The smooth textures of the pea & fruit helped, too. And Ladydee, yes they are pricy inland, but I buy them right off the boat where I live, so I don't pay anywhere near $1/per scallop. They are basically low fat pure Protein and so quick to prepare---the ultimate healthy fast food for me. They are also delicious raw. I make a "cocktail" with the diced scallops, avocado, watermelon, and pickled ginger....YuM!

Scallops rock!! They are one of my go to foods. High in Protein, easy to swallow, and at $1 a piece, no more than a lean cuisine for what we can eat now...lol!

Paul, I am right there with you. How amazing is this and why the heck did it take us so long to discover it? At almost eleven months out, I can honestly say that I enjoy eating as much or more than I ever did. I love the foods I eat. They are healthy. I'm not hungry all of the time. I don't feel deprived. I truly don't miss all of the crap I used to eat. I'm not suffering in any way. Just amazing!!

Ive always ate scallops, just cooked in butter with sometype of bread around it. Now I'm eating it with just lemon, salt and pepper. Sometimes a little i can't believe it's not butter.

Well, I don't really use recipes...I just made it up. In addition to being a teacher, I sometimes work as a private chef for a family that eats ONLY healthy food.

Here's what I did: I pureed fresh garden peas (you could use frozen!) with a little sesame oil and low sodium soy sauce. I added home made chicken stock until it became the texture I wanted. Then I pureed a mango with lime juice, cilantro, Vietnamese chili garlic sauce, and rice wine vinegar. I seared the scallops in peanut oil. Be sure they are dry when you put them in the pan, and don't crowd them, otherwise they will steam and you won't get good caramelization. Frozen scallops do not sear well because they are full of Water...Plate it up and there you go. Even people who have not had WLS will love it...that is assuming they are lovers of seafood...

Thank you very much! I'm so happy that I will still be able to eat good, gourmet-ish meals that are WLS-friendly. My husband and boys are not fans of scallops, but I could probably substitute shrimp in this one very easily and make the whole family happy!

If you haven't already, try Chef Paul Prudhomme's "Seafood Magic" seasoning on broiled or baked fish, scallops, shrimp, almost any seafood. Available in most grocery stores' spice area. YUMMY!
