RAW SCALLOPS ON BACON
Salty and sweet, crisp and tender, bacon and scallops pair well together in this impossibly easy dish. Any time you cook with a limited ingredient list, you want to select good-quality items, especially when working with raw seafood. Many store-bought scallops are soaked in a phosphate solution that plumps them up with water (and increases the price), so it's important to look for scallops that are labeled "dry" or "dry-packed," since a phosphate-marinated scallop can taste soapy. Since the scallops are served over bacon, season them frugally with just a hint of salt.
