Steps:
- Gather ingredients.
- If scallops are quite large, cut them so the sizes are fairly uniform.
- Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the tough white side muscle if not already removed.
- Heat about 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep, heavy cast-iron skillet, saucepan, or deep fryer to 350 F.
- Line a baking pan or baking sheet with 2 or 3 thicknesses of paper towels and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine flour, salt, paprika, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs with the milk.
- Put the fine breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Dip a few of the scallops in the seasoned flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and then roll them in the breadcrumbs to coat. Repeat with the remaining scallops.
- Once the oil has reached the temperature (350 F), add several scallops―about 6 to 10 depending on the pan size―to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Take care not to overcook. They should be warm in the middle, but still moist.
- Remove them from the oil with a metal slotted spoon and transfer them to the paper-towel-lined pan. Shake the pan gently for a few seconds so the scallops roll around and excess oil is absorbed.
- Repeat with subsequent batches.
- Serve immediately with your choice of cocktail sauce , rémoulade sauce , or tartar sauce. Enjoy.

EASY FRIED SCALLOPS
I experimented with some ways to cook scallops one night with my family. This was everyone's favorite and it has become a regular dish at our family fry nights. If serving as a main dish, make twice as many servings as people (about 8 scallops per person).

FRIED SCALLOPS
Use large sea scallops, which are often labeled "u/10" or "u/12," which stands for under 10 or 12 to a pound. And try to get dry scallops as opposed to wet ones, which have been treated with chemicals to extend their shelf life and add moisture. Dry scallops exude much less liquid when cooked and have better texture and flavor. These untreated scallops often tend to be less bright white, but your fishmonger should be able to tell you for sure what you're buying.

Steps:
- Combine flour, corn flour and baking powder in a medium-size aluminum baking pan and shake around to mix well.
- Dry scallops with paper towels, then dip both sides in flour mixture and shake off any excess.
- Put a 20-inch iron skillet over a propane gas burner and turn burner to high. Add enough oil to come to a depth of just over 1/4 inch. Heat until oil is hot but not smoking; you can test it by dropping a small piece of scallop into the oil; it should bubble furiously.
- When oil is hot, add scallops in batches small enough so they're not crowded, and cook just until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and eat right away.
