Oh, I don't know if you'll find scallops raw at a restaurant but maybe you could request them raw as most seafood is now viewed as acceptable to be be under-cooked or raw in the west.
This seems to be true. My fave seafood guy at WF said that people will ask for some scallops on just the paper (unwrapped) because they're going to eat it straight away/in the store. He (seafood guy) knows that I'm eating raw and doesn't recommend that I eat most of the things raw, but he offered to make me some fresh raw seafood poke (I think not currently on our menu, but available by special request - and/or the prepared foods poke contains cooked seafood) if I come in early enough and ask him (whenever I talk to him, I'm shopping right before closing time). He also said he would grill sardines for me... I asked him if he would undercook them for me and he said yes, they would be raw inside. People are so wonderful.
I try to keep it local too, like you. Lol, and similar in the way I cut the plastic packaging, too funny. I try to cut it as soon as possible too so the meat won't sit any longer in that material... just in case that helps
And I love your new photo! Your last avatar was beautiful, but now we can see more of your face so you're even more beautiful!
Lol, I cut it asap too - straight from the store (frozen) to the ref for defrosting.
Aw, thank you for the compliment, beautiful - you are too sweet. I'm just vain, lol. It's really the gig make-up and flat-ironing and requisite "natural" straightening elixir hair product. Not paleo, but when you have long curly/crazy hair all the time, sometimes you just really want a change (I had most of my hair cut off last last spring, but I wanted to grow it out again for work). You might not recognize me when I'm not gigging.
After changing out of costume, the first thing I have to, have to, have to take off is lipstick/lipgloss. I hate wearing anything on my lips besides maybe natural lip balm and I never wear lipstick when I'm not performing. I don't like the thought of inadvertently eating lipstick or making other people eat lipstick when they kiss you.
(Icky, I don't like the mess.) I like talking about scallops, raw pet food, hair, and lipstick in the same post.
