How good does that sound? Two of the best things to pair with a beer combined in one tasty dish. Scallops are juicy, flavor and in close relation to clams. Bacon makes just about thing taste good and the best pairing for a cold lager. They add bacon to burgers and pizza, so why not fresh seafood from the boats in New Bedford, MA. This is also a great dish to get the party started. Try this appetizer at your next event.
