Here are some tips on how to make fish for people who don’t like fish, along with some recipes that fish haters might enjoy.

1. Wrap It In Bacon 🥓

Bacon makes everything better. The same is true with it comes to seafood.

The first thing that comes to mind when we think of bacon and seafood is bacon wrapped scallops. If you hate seafood because of the texture however, then scallops are probably not for you. However, scallops done right aren’t that bad texture-wise, but it really depends on the person. Bacon wrapped scallops are great because they’re simple and easy to make, and because the scallops absorb the bacon flavour, which makes them perfect for seafood haters.

🐟 Mediocre Tip: Experiment with different types of bacon! Try an applewood smoked bacon or maple bacon instead of your normal everyday bacon.

Before wrapping your scallops in bacon, be sure to take off the little tough muscles on the side. You can wrap the bacon around the entire body of the scallops if you have small bay scallops, or around the circumference if you’re using sea scallops which are much larger.

You can cook bacon wrapped scallops two ways: bake them in the oven or sear them in a hot pan with butter. We cooked our bacon wrapped bay scallops in the oven for 10 minutes (5 minutes on each side) at 425°F and they turned out perfectly — they weren’t tough or rubbery and the bacon was cooked. If you opt for the pan method, we recommend cooking your bacon before wrapping your scallops, as the bacon won’t cook much during the searing process. According to the internet, searing your scallops on each side for 1 minute and 30 seconds will result a perfectly cooked scallop. (The internet doesn’t lie, right?)
