Alyce is catering to people like me knittercook - I won't eat the roe and I am happy if I can find scallops without it.  I don't buy them very often, they are too expensive.

Judy this reminds me of when I was about 17 and my friend was scallop splitting during the holidays and could purchase 1 kg of scallops for $5,  she bought me some and I took them home to my non- seafood eating parents. Well my mother decided to curry them and that night as we all sat down for our feast imagine my horror to find that she had only cooked the white bits, and when I asked where the orange bits were she replied "oh I chucked them out, do you eat them"?  :'(

I grew up on scallops, and love the roe, splitting scallops brings back memories, we use to buy a sack of scallops for $20.00 and split them ourselves, those were the days.
Must be a Tasmanian thing to eat the roe, I miss my tassie scallops, and its so hard in the west to find scallops with roe on.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

I loce scallops but like Judy rarely have them as they are so expensive. I rarely buy any seafood because of the expense. We have fresh that we catch at Monkey Mia and the rest of the time, apart from some salmon, I use tinned seafood. (tuna and salmon). I'm afraid I don't like the roe either.

Same here cookie. keep reading how we are meant to be eating more fresh fish, but the tinned variety is more affordable. The only time we have fresh fish is when I steam it using my recipe here and everyone goes mad for it.

Sad isn't it? I have quite a few recipes using salmon and smoked salmon and I use those mainly.

Went to The Farmers Markets (Newcastle - NSW) today. I don't eat seafood but they had smoked salmon and local prawns at what DH considered a very reasonable price. Do you fellow Thermomixers have farmers markets in your district?
