Tips for Making Nantucket Bay Scallops Crudo

- Use high-quality, fresh sea scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a sweet, briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor. - Before using, rinse the scallops thoroughly with cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. - Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the scallops. This will help them cook evenly and will make them more tender. - If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the scallops. Just be careful not to cut yourself. - If you are using citrus juice in your marinade, be sure to add it just before serving. This will prevent the scallops from becoming tough. - Serve the scallops crudo immediately or chill them for up to 30 minutes before serving.
