Nothing overly special here.
We went scalloping Saturday out of the Crystal River area.
Water was clear, but had about a foot of chop. Made the snorkle pretty useless, so I did the manatee breathing thing.
At high tide, the water was about 7.5' deep. The salinity level was very high and it made me feel like a balloon in the water. You had to kick all the way to the bottom, or you would get tugged back up very quickly.
Caught a decent amount, but we didn't limit out.
Now to the nom, nom part.
Rebecca took 2/3 of the catch and made civiche. Lime juice, orange slices
and orange juice, onion, a small jalapenó, avocado and a couple more things I don't remember.
Served that with pita chips.
Took the rest, chopped up a couple slices of bacon. Cooked the bacon part of the way through, then added red pepper flakes and the scallops with some black pepper.
Took a couple of small flat iron steaks and popped them on the grill until they were rare, and voilá.
Forgot to mention the bowl of rabbit food....
Since today is Tuesday I figured the right thing to do was break out the smoker.
