Place rashers of bacon away from you on cutting board and roll bacon around scallop. Skewer with water soaked toothpick to hold together. Place on lightly oiled baking pan, foil, or baking paper, rind side up. Spray with cooking oil..Put under grill, for 6- 8 minutes or until bacon is crisp, then turn. Don't overcook the scallops !!!! less is best for them.

Remove burnt toothpicks and skewer with new for serving. If its just the boys over for a beer, dont bother
Or you may grill on BBQ hotplate..while the Bradley is busy smoking that fresh caught fish...
