*Seared Scallop Chowder from Pike Place Market

This is based on a recipe from Pikes Place Market. One of the best, if not the best chowder I have eaten. This recipe is online: https://morethanburnttoast.blogspot.com/2011/10/seared-scallop-chowder-from-pike-place.html

  • 2 lbs (900g) bay scallops (I substitutes frozen divers scallops)
  • 2 cups red skinned potatoes, steamed and diced
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 3 tablespoons sea salt (use salt at your discretion/I used 1 teaspoon)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups water
  • 6 cups heavy cream
  • 1 medium or 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/3 cup lime juice, about 3 limes
  • Cooking oil vegetable or canola
  • A pinch of chopped parsley or chives and paprika makes for a nice garnish 

I served it in fresh bread rolls
