SCALLOP STEW 
Great with fresh bread!

1 bag frozen bay scallops (I use Seaquest)
1 small chunk salted pork belly, sliced (or 4-5 bacon slices)
2 onions, chopped
5 potatoes
oil, for frying

Defrost scallops according to directions. Chop onions, set aside. Chop potatoes in bite sized cubes, set aside. If using pork belly, slice the meat into large cubes.

First heat oil into a pot. Add scallops, brown. Liquid may come from the scallops while cooking, so keep scooping the liquid out and reserve it. When scallops are done set aside in a dish.

Heat more oil in the same pot. Add onions and pork belly. Fry it down until onions are soft and meat is golden brown. Add a half cup of water in the pot and scrape the brown bits from the pot. Add scallops, diced raw potatoes, and reserved juice in the pot.

Pour water just enough to cover the the potatoes. Let simmer over medium-low heat, until potatoes are tender.

Cooking scallops for the amount of time it would take to cook the potatoes through will turn them into the texture of pencil erasers.
