#13: Scallops With Fennel And Orange Emulsion @ Rue 127
One of the lightest but also one of the best dishes from this small, brilliant bistro is a trio of enormous diver scallops, seared top and bottom and bulging with juiciness. The flavor of the sea releases itself in the first bite. It is further enhanced by the orange and fennel flavors. The presence of oyster mushrooms lends a meatiness that satisfies. As always, scallops are what you want to eat when you want to stick to seafood, yet enjoy a firm, satisfying meatiness.
