Steps

  1. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot to 350°F.

  2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and seasoning in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg and milk. Stir the wet into the dry until just combined. The batter should be thick.

  3. Fold in the scallops, green onions and bell pepper.

  4. Drop the batter into the oil by heaping tablespoons, a few at a time. Fry 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until deep golden and cooked through. Break the first one open to check the middle.

  5. Drain on a rack, salt them while hot, and serve with lemon and tartar sauce.
