This is "Top Chef", not "Top Scallop"



Possibly the best line ever said on Top Chef. Thanks Fabio!

I love scallops. However, the reason I am writing is because the BF (let us call him N) makes a killer fish taco and that is what I am having for dinner. It puts Melissa's to shame, so I think. Someone told me that I could not really judge the food purely by looking at it on TV - untrue. I think the right chefs were sent home, with their knives.

Are you wondering about Mr. T? I tried to be all-creative and find a cartoon about Scallops. When I searched Google for "Cartoon Scallop" this picture was in the mix. Why? Unknown.

Re: N's Fish Tacos. Buy any hard shell tacos. Some come with taco seasoning, but it does not matter. Any taco seasoning will work. We have tried many brands and all are the same. You can also make your own seasoning blend using paprika, coriander, etc. Any tuna steaks will do, 1.5 inch thick. Rub taco seasoning on the tuna steaks. Add olive oil to a skillet, and heat to hottest temperature. Sear tuna steaks (seasoned) one min per side, rare. You can heat the taco shells in the oven. Cut up Avocados, tomatoes, red onions. Tonight we used black beans, but I find they overpower the other flavors. Make your own tacos. Easy as pie (a saying I do not understand since I do not find making a pie easy... not that I have ever tried). This is a quick, tasty and healthy dinner option.
