PAN FRIED SCALLOPS AND BACON

Steps:

• The amount of scallops depends on their size, and of course, how much you want to eat!
• Scallops (no shell) with their roe if you can get them, as the nice orange colour of the roe looks good and more important it tastes good!
• Streaky bacon is best because of the fat in it. You want about 3 or 4 rashers each.
• Fry the bacon in a pan over a moderate heat until nice and brown and only just starting to get crispy.
• With the bacon still in the pan, add the scallops and move them about in the pan to get them nicley coated with all the pan juices. They will only take a couple of minutes to cook.
• It's as simple as that! Serve immediately.

PAN FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Heat a heavy pan over medium high heat.
• Season fish on meat side with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge fish in flour and shake off excess. When pan is good and hot, add Canola oil followed immediately by 1 tablespoon butter. As soon as foaming subsides, place fish in pan with the skin side down. Jiggle pan for the first 10 seconds to keep the fish from sticking. Cook until golden crust forms on meat. Carefully turn fish away from you and again jiggle pan for the first few seconds. Cook until skin turns golden brown. Remove to a warm plate.
• Pour out the cooking fat, add remaining butter and quickly fry the capers. Remove pan from the heat, add lemon juice to pan and swirl. Pour sauce over the fish and serve.
