I didn't want to hide the ocean freshness of the scallops I bought on the dock from a local fisherman, so I used simple but perfect ingredients to showcase them. —Joan Churchill, Dover, New Hampshire

I fully expected to love this, just by reading the ingredients. It was very good but not great. I place most of the blame for that on my husband, who accidentally bought bay scallops instead of sea scallops. :-( I will definitely try again using sea scallops, and might switch to a light cream rather than heavy next time ... the sauce did seem a bit heavy. Thanks for the recipe!iteach5 ... I assumed that 3 fresh sage meant 3 whole sage leaves.

Question: Does "3 fresh sage" mean 3 whole sage leaves?

Absolutely to die for recipe. I have made this several times and it is delicious. If you can afford it, get day boat scallops instead of all others - they will not shrink in size and are so worth the extra cost. Everyone who I have shared this recipe with says it is wonderful. As a matter of fact my husband and I had already decided to make this dish tonight and when I opened up my email I saw that TOH featured it again. GREAT RECIPE!!!

I've used this recipe since it first appeared in TOH. It's absolutely delicious and has become a family favoite. Occasionally I add a few mushrooms to the sauce.
