TAYLOR BAY SCALLOPS WITH UNI & MUSTARD OIL
No dish encapsulates the theme of this book better than this one does. It's the result of inspiration from great ingredients (the sweetest, freshest bay scallops I've ever tasted) and trial-and-error experimentation during my first days as a head chef. Scallops are sweet, tomato water is sour, uni is salty, and mustard is bitter. When you slurp one of these back in one go, you see the result of balance and integration. At first it's chaos in the mouth. Slowly, the flavors flirt, mingle, and finally coalesce. They form an amalgam of flavor that isn't scallop, urchin, tomatoes, or mustard, but a whole greater than the sum of its parts.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse tomatoes with sea salt until chunky. Line a strainer or coffeemaker basket with a coffee filter and transfer tomatoes to the coffee filter. Set strainer over a large nonreactive bowl or coffeemaker carafe. Refrigerate this contraption at least 12 hours: the tomatoes' intensely flavored, clear juices will filter into the bowl. To the tomato water, add mirin, cayenne pepper, and ground pepper.
- Cover a dish with crushed ice. (If serving this as an appetizer, use dinner plates. A large serving tray or tiered platter would work well if these are to be served as hors d'oeuvres.) For an individual appetizer, arrange 5 shells in a ring on the ice. Place a scallop (or piece of scallop) and uni lobe side by side in each shell. Spoon seasoned tomato water into each shell to cover the shellfish, 1 ½ to 2 teaspoons per shell. Drizzle several drops of mustard oil over each, and garnish with a pinch of black mustard seed. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Choose a saute pan large enough to hold all of the scallops in one layer without overcrowding the pan or without them touching each other. Cook in batches if necessary. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter until nearly smoking. Add the scallops and do not move or shake pan, but allow the scallops to brown well on one side before tossing the pan to flip them or gently turning them with a spatula to cook the second side.
- Remove the scallops from the pan and place on a warm serving platter. Return the pan in which the scallops had been cooked to the fire, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweet butter, and cook until the butter begins to turn a light brown color. When the butter has browned to a hazelnut color add the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
- Pour the classic lemon butter over the scallops, garnish with heart-shaped croutons and serve promptly.
SAUTéED SCALLOPS
Sea scallops and bay scallops differ in size and sweetness. They also cook a little differently. I love a good hard sear on a sea scallop, a little crust, and a splash of wine in the butter at the end to provide a silky acidity against the sweet of the meat. For the tiny, sweet bay scallop, though, I prefer a gentle butter bath. Whichever you cook, be very careful not to overcook. Indeed, there is almost no such thing as an undercooked scallop.

Steps:
- Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
- Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

BAY SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC PARSLEY BUTTER SAUCE
They say smell is the sense most closely linked to memory recall, and that was certainly the case while making these garlicky, buttery bay scallops on toast. As waves of the wonderful aromas wafted up from the pan, they brought back a flood of vivid memories of my first kitchen job.

Tips for Cooking Taylor Bay Scallops with Uni and Mustard Oil:
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, plump scallops, uni, and mustard oil for the best flavor and texture.
- Sear Scallops Properly: Sear scallops in a hot pan with butter for a golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
- Use Fresh Uni: Fresh uni has a creamy, briny flavor that pairs well with scallops. Avoid frozen or processed uni.
- Add Mustard Oil at the End: Mustard oil has a pungent flavor that can overpower the dish if added too early. Add it at the end of cooking for a subtle, nutty flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Taylor Bay scallops are best served immediately after cooking. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course.
