This dish comes fromo ne of DC’s most delicious seafood restaurants, The Oceanaire. No doubt the biggest trick to replicating Oceanaire’s scallops is finding the freshest possible. Barring a close relationship with a wholesale distributor the best option you have is to strike up a conversation with a local seafood retailer. Simply ask when their scallops arrived and then ask to give them a sniff. If the answer was today, and you only smell the sea (no fishy or pungent odors) then you can be relatively certain that your scallops are of the highest quality possible.
