Sea Scallops are a Southern favorite and many Sea Scallop dishes can be found in most reputable
restaurants throughout the South.
The Sea Scallop fishing industry is big in the South where millions of pounds of Sea Scallops are harvested off the Coast from North Carolina to Florida annually.
Here is a tasty Sea Scallop Recipe in a Creamy White Wine Sauce. I
