SEARED SCALLOPS WITH A CORN, BACON AND AVOCADO RELISH
Steps:
- Take a small bowl and place it upside-down inside a large bowl. (This will provide a small stand for your corn, making it easier to remove the kernels, and the large bowl will catch them as the fall, avoiding a mess.) Using a knife, remove the kernels from the corn, letting them fall into the bowl.
- Dice the onion and red bell pepper and add them to the bowl with the corn. Add 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper. Mix to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Set a pan over medium heat and add some oil. Add the corn mixture to the pan and cook until the onions begin to soften, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Sprinkle the sea scallops with salt and pepper. Set a pan over medium-high heat and add some oil. Add the scallops and sear until golden in color, about 1 minute on each side. Remove from the heat and let rest.
- Dice the avocados and add them to the corn relish along with the chopped bacon. Season with salt and pepper and mix together.
- Evenly distribute the relish among 4 plates and top each with 4 scallops. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

CHEF JOHN'S BAY SCALLOP CHOWDER
Every once in a while I make a dish that no matter how great it tastes, I just can't get past how it looks, and that was the case with this very easy, incredibly delicious scallop chowder. If you do make it, and want a thicker, more traditional chowder base, simply mash some of your potatoes into the mixture.

SCALLOP, CORN AND BACON CHOWDER
This is wonderful for any occasion. I even make this during the summer, when its 95 degrees out! You can purchase the Bay Scallops frozen or fresh..I prefer fresh but either is great! In case you don't know.. Bay Scallops are small and Sea Scallops are the large ones. Both can be used for thi soup but the Sea scallops are more beneficial to the soup.

Steps:
- Heat a 6 or 8-quart heavy bottomed soup or sauce pot over a low heat and add the bacon. Once it has rendered a few tablespoons of fat, increase the heat to medium and cook the bacon until crisp golden brown. Leave the bacon pieces and the fat in the pan. Add the butter, onion, thyme and bay leaf. Saute them for about 8 minutes over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, but not browned. Add the potatoes and fish stock. The stock should just barely cover the potatoes. If it doesn't add enough water to cover them. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and cook the potatoes vigorously for about 8 minutes. Add the diced cabbage, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. The potatoes should be firm in the center and soft on the outside. If the broth hasn't thickened, lightly smash a few potatoes against the side of the pot and simmer 1 or 2 minutes longer to release their starches. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the scallops and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the cream and let sit 10 more minutes while the scallops finish their slow cooking. Retaste the chowder and adjust the salt and pepper. If you are not serving the chowder within the hour, let it cool a bit then refrigerate. Cover the chowder after it has completely chilled. Otherwise, let it sit for up to an hour, allowing the flavors to meld. When ready to serve, reheat over a low heat and don't let the chowder boil. Use a slotted spoon to mound the pieces of scallop, potato, cabbage and bacon in the center of large soup plates or shallow bowls and ladle the creamy broth around. Sprinkle generously with sliced scallions.

Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use fresh scallops for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh scallops, frozen scallops will work as well. Just be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Cook the scallops properly: Scallops are very delicate, so it's important to cook them quickly over high heat. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the scallops, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Add the corn and bacon at the end: The corn and bacon should be added to the chowder towards the end of the cooking process. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Season to taste: Be sure to season the chowder to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
Conclusion:
Scallop corn and bacon chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The scallops are tender and flavorful, the corn is sweet and crisp, and the bacon adds a smoky flavor. This chowder is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
