Cherry Planked Scallops

[Captain Morgan]

Poker boys got lucky this week...used a wild cherry plank
from smokinliscious...got the plank hot, added the scallops
and it doesn't take too long..

I don't add the meat until the plank starts smoking, to get
more smoke flavor on the meat.

I served em over some stuffed ravioli with vodka sauce.

Have not had scallops in a long time. Those look tasty! Ever do a small wheel of cheese on a plank? That's tasty also. Please tell me you had the scallops with clarified butter.

chris tell me more about the cheese...you use a cedar plank for that?

 

[surfinsapo]

WoW, I have to try that soon... Great work Cappy!!!

How'd the cherry plank work out?

 

[Captain Morgan]

not as much flavor as the cedar imparts, but it was there.

Love those scallops!!!

Try some President Brie cheese on the plank with a nice sweet topping(after you cook it until soft) like Smuckers pineapple or butterscotch sunday topping.

Cherry pie filling for a topping is good too and is my favorite.

Looks some good Cappy, I heard of some places sellin fish cut like scallops to fool people, I don't trust these local fish mongers down here

JB, the seafood barns here in Myrtle Beach were notorious for
stamping our circles of skate (I believe) and calling it scallops.
Most folks would never know the difference. They have no problem
coming on vacation, paying 23 bucks for AYCE, and fill up on crappy
food, when they can spend 15 to 18 bucks, get great food, and still
be full.

Cooking on planks! Another great invention!
Looks fantastic. :P
Are the planks reusable or a one shot deal once they are charred up?

GH, I run planks till paper thin and fall apart.

Chris I bought some cheese today, can't wait to plank it!

 

[Pigs On The Wing BBQ]

What did you get? Your going to love it. Make it for poker night.

 

[Captain Morgan]

the hell with the poker guys, it's all for me! Bought a four pak
of different cheeses, some jack and cheddar stuff I think.
got busy suddenly with an unexpected cater this week, but
I might cook some Weds.
