    Finding true Nantucket Bays is the key. Frozen bays from China are being passed off as Nantucket Bays. For taste, it's critical that the scallops are never frozen and are kept chilled in their own brine. Then you barely blot them before cooking: no drying! To ensure you're getting the real thing, to save money, and to support the local industry, try ordering direct from the fishermen. I use www.NantucketBayScallops.net because the fishermen themselves run that one, no middle man at all. But there are others if you Google. Thanksgiving tradition in my family.
