Scallops and Spinach

Bay of Fundy Scallops are very much missed by this Canuck Floridian

Publix sells Canadian scallops in their freezer section individually frozen and easy to use, although not as good they will do

Besides with a 30 year reunion coming up I might want to offset that pint of Haagan Dazz I ate last night

1 stalk fennel diced optional ( I had fennel left over from yesterday's tomato soup)
