Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lbs fresh sea scallops (Divers Scallops, Muscle Removed)
1/2 lb maple bacon
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bay leaf
4 celery ribs (Chopped)
6 cups maui onions (Medium Diced, 4 onions)
1 tablespoon thyme (Fresh Lemon, Chopped)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 cup Chardonnay wine
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups clam juice
1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes (Diced)
4 cups heavy cream (Tempered)
2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning (Split)
1 tablespoon fresh dill (Chopped)
1 cup creme fraiche
1 dash nutmeg
1 fresh lemon (Zested & Juiced)
1/4 cup chives (Chopped)

Steps:

  • Rinse scallops under cold water and pat dry. Coat scallops with a little olive oil and place on a plate.
  • In a 5-quart Dutch oven cook bacon over medium heat; about 6-8 minutes until crisp. Remove with slotted spoon and place on paper towel. When cool crumble the bacon.
  • Pour off all bacon grease and add 2-tablespoons butter. Add bay leaf, celery, onion, thyme and parsley. Season with salt and white pepper. Cook vegetables 4-5 minutes on until brown.
  • Add Chardonnay and reduce by half.
  • Add 3-tablespoons butter, sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Whisk in clam juice until smooth. Add bacon bits, potatoes, tempered cream and 1-tablespoon old bay seasoning. Bring chowder to a full boil and reduce to a slow simmer for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are done. Stir to prevent chowder from burning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Fold in creme fraiche and nutmeg. Stir until combined. Do not let the chowder boil.
  • Heat a skillet add remaining butter, lemon zest and lemon juice. Season scallops with fine sea salt and white pepper. Dust both sides with old bay seasoning. Cook scallops 1-2 minutes per side or until done. Remove bay leaf from chowder. Season with sea salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Place chowder in warm bowls and add Divers Sea Scallops.
  • Garnish chowder with fresh chopped chives.
