Seared scallops with pureed celery root and sauce verte

Alaska weathervane scallops are one of the tricks of this meal.  It is the best meal I have ever made and so simple.  I made it in November, 2015. About to do it again, I think.  Vital Seafoods to order the Alaska Weathervane Scallops. See the post at my Facebook page, Da Giogio, the other place that I show that I am a bit of a foodie.

The originator of the recipe with better pictures than mine. I skipped the hazelnuts, though we know that Whatcom County is a treasure for hazelnuts!

Apparently she was doing a combo variation from 2 recipes by Barbara Lynch in Stir: Mixing It Up in the Italian Tradition.

Finding Seafood So Far

I've had a few recommendations so far about where to find seafood to purchase and take home. Here's what I like so far:

1. Oysters - Greg M recommends Taylor Shellfish Farms, off of Chuckanaut Drive

2. Crab - Renee C recommends Finkbonner Shellfish (2301 Lummi View Dr, Bellingham, WA 98226-9277 * Phone 360 758-7030) They are in the wholesale business, but handle a few folks who come through for retail purchase. I've gotten dungeness there to cook at home and been a very happy consumer.

3. Wild Alaska Salmon - Jackie S suggests Desire Fish Company, right off the boat at Squalicum Harbor Gate 7 in Bellingham
