¹⁄₂

lb bay scallop
1

cup self rising flour, split in half
¹⁄₄

cup self-rising yellow cornmeal
1

can beer
5 -6

dashes hot sauce
salt and pepper
oil (for frying)

DIRECTIONS

Rinse the scallops and drain to a towel.
In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the flour, the corn meal, hot sauce, salt and pepper with enough beer to make a batter a little thinner than a pancake batter.
Put the remaining flour in a plastic bag, add the scallops, close the bag and shake well to coat them evenly.
Remove batches of the scallops, coat well in the batter and fry in the pre- heated oil until golden brown.
Remove the scallops from the oil and drain on paper towels.
These go great with batter fried okra, a big baked potato and Cocktail Sauce on the side.
