00:00And they smell absolutely as sweet as can be with a little bit of salt water, seawater thrown in.
00:05These are beautiful sea scallops.
00:08In Maine, the favorite way of cooking scallops is to put them right in a pan with just a touch
00:13of oil.
00:13And in another cast iron pan, I have about a little bit more than a quarter of a cup of
00:18oil.
00:19I'm going to fry some capers as a garnish for our scallops.
00:23Now always salt and pepper right before you're going to cook.
00:28The pan is very hot.
00:30You can see it just starting to smoke.
00:32And now I'm going to put my drained capers in the hot oil.
00:38There's the color you want.
00:40Serve it with a wedge or two of lemon and a little bit of basil.
