Fishy menu ideas.

I cooking a belated birthday dinner for a female friend tomorrow night. The only thing that she has requested is scallops (something I've cooked for her a few times before).

Usually I do them pretty simply, and serve with a root vegetable puree and perhaps a black olive tapenade or something like that. But, I fancy something slightly different. Happy to do it as a starter or a main.

I'm at a total loss for inspiration today (no doubt because I'm hungover) so can anyone suggest a tasty tasty menu for me?

The other dish can be anything as long as it is fishy!

Do them with a pea and mint puree with some sweet potato crisps on the side?

Stir fry them with some king prawns, monkfish cut into chunks, mushrooms and noodles

Scallops and very crisp bacon with an orange star anise sauce.

I have cooked this many times. It is a total doddle and if you cook it with a bit more finesse than those pictures, it will look classy and more importantly taste amazing. I cook mine in little individual dishes. It is basically stolen from Ramsey.

Starter of Scallop, black pudding and bacon salad?

Might have to try that baked cod with chorizo.
