Ohhh yeah i agree!! shellfish are aren’t supposed to be matched with Cheese in iTalian Cuisines. But just the smell of melted Cheese period. Overpowering somewhat the distinct smell of seafood, its like an adventure kind of. Like you are almost hesitant to try but somehow curious, and then when you finally had the taste of it, you cant stop eating it coz its simply addicting and satisfying.

I had my first taste of this when i was in Manila. its perfectly just fit my palate ohh sooo sooo Good. normally i would just eat scallops seared or wrap with pancetta. But this concotion ohhhh WOW soo GOOD!!

yes i completely agree maddie! they’re so good!

i heard they’ve resurfaced lately…after being thought of as “lost or gone for good” by local fishermen, casualties of overfishing & dynamite fishing.

I don’t like cheese on shell fish because it overwhelms it and sayang especially if the shell fish is fresh. I love how the shell looks though. Would anybody know where I can buy soft shell crabs in manila?

MM i’ve done this with a scallop thermidor theme, topped with breadcrumbs or crushed potato chips or cheese and chopped flat leaf parsley then broiled briefly until golden brown. hmmmm….having moved to a landlocked city, it’s been so challenging to look for seafood, the quality that my family was used to when we were living in the Phils. here in Alberta its salmon, salmon and more salmon….at least the beef is good!

Wow, looks good! Have you tried bbqing them? Just marinate them in butter, garlic and calamansi juice for 15 minutes, wrap each in a rasher of bacon, impale with a bbq stick and grill. Heavenly!
