SCALLOP TARTARE

Sweet and tender scallops make a natural substitute for raw beef in tartare. While beef stands up to strong, aggressive capers and mustard, the ratios are dialed back here to accommodate the scallop, which is more subtle. Because they're being served raw, it's important to buy fresh, high-quality scallops. Many store-bought options are soaked in a phosphate solution that plumps them up with water (therefore bumping up the price), so it's important to look for scallops that are labeled "dry" or "dry-packed" for more pure flavor.
