The scallops offered by Blue Hill sit on the dinner menu, and are served along with the restaurant´s equally excellent shrimp.

If you´re there for the scallops, you´ll want to glance at the Small Plates section of the menu and look for the Cape Fear Scallops. This delightful delicacy is composed of seared scallops combined with creamy grits and served with a bacon-butter sauce. You may find yourself asking for seconds.

Come for the decadent brass and wood trimming on everything interior to this beautiful seafood joint. Come for the raw bar which is second to none. Come for the amazing harbor view in the upstairs seating area. Or, if you really want a treat, come out and taste the scallops. You can find some pretty savory scallops tucked into the seafood salad, along with calamari, shrimp and blue crab, but the real star of the menu is the Seared Block Island Scallops. This unique dish mixes the scallops along with charred broccoli and carrots, tomatoes and emmer berries all seasoned with tarragon and served along with crème fraiche.

If you´re not afraid of trying new things, Ouzo Bay is a different experience which is worth sampling: it offers Greek seafood, so it serves up familiar meats in new dishes you´ve probably never tasted before. To put you a bit more in your comfort zone, you might check out the stellar drink offerings at the bar. Born in the sunkissed Mediterranean shores, the Greeks have a long history of seafood perfection. Ouzo Bay does it right by mixing scallops into the Thalassina Zymarika (Seafood Risotto) along with jumbo shrimp, lobster tail and lump crab, which makes for a great meal; however for the true scallop item on the menu, try out the Halassina Xtenia -- pan seared sea scallops combined with tomatoes, caramelized brussel sprouts and a roasted parsnip puree.
