How to Make Battered Queenies With Tartar Sauce Manx Scallops

1. Gently poach 1 pound of queenies in 1 cup of water until tender (about 3-5 minutes).
2. Drain the queenies thoroughly and set aside.
3. In a shallow dish, season 1/4 cup all-purpose flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
4. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, and 1 large egg, whisking until just combined.
5. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup milk and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into the flour-breadcrumb mixture until a smooth batter forms.
6. Dredge the poached queenies in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
7. Dip the floured queenies into the batter using a long skewer or chopsticks, allowing excess batter to drip off.
8. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
9. Carefully fry the queenies in batches for approximately 3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the fryer.
10. Remove the fried queenies with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
11. **Tartar Sauce:**
