New Summer menu at Matisse in Belmar

 

We had this dish Monday night Day Boat Scallops ...ok what does that mean ...There has been a growing demand, spearheaded by American chefs, for untainted product. We call these "day boat scallops," which means the fishermen go out for a single day, returning to market with untreated fresh shellfish. You can identify a day boat scallop by its ivory and coral color. Bleached scallops are very white. Also, ask your fishmonger to remove the side muscle of the scallop; this will save you valuable minutes in the kitchen.
