SCALLOPS IN PERNOD AND CREAM
This is a delicious dish. My father made it for me and gave me the recipe several years ago. I'm afraid I'm not sure where he got the recipe, but I believe it was from a chef at an inn in Maine. Like most absolutely fabulous dishes, this is not low fat but definitely worth the indulgence! This is really nice with a long grain rice and wild rice mixture or with nice crusty bread to sop up the sauce. Can be served as an appetizer or a main course.

- Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include lemon wedges, crusty bread, and a simple green salad.
