I think they are a hybrid of standard lemons and some sort of orange? I'm allergic to regular oranges but I can eat Meyer lemons with no problem. The original dish we had at Diner was scallops and thin slices of orange, so that would be a good substitute for you. And I did shallow fry, yes. :) Unfortunately, I have never seen scallops with the coral still attached at any of our usual fish places, so I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it... if you have any suggestions in case the situation ever arises, I'd love to hear them. Congrats on the pay raise and have fun at the market!

Pretty sure we don't get them here — what might be a close substitute? Frying your scallops — shallow fried? And if you get them with coral attached, do you do anything with it? Off to Borough on Friday — they always have good hand-dived scallops. And I got a payrise this month :D I still don’t know what Meyer lemons are.

We get our Meyer lemons at Greenwich Produce in the market at Grand Central - I actually just ran down there on my lunch break and they have lots of them!

This looks incredible, and gives me a reason to track down Meyer lemons (and drink white wine). I think I need to start a feature called Tomorrow Night’s Dinner that links back to your posts!
