Pla Hoi Shenn - sour and salty marinated scallpos

This is labelled a salad, but I'd rather describe it as scallops in a sour and salty marinade.

So, what went in? The base was fish sauce and lime, then kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, chilli, mint and coriander. A great starter.

I made a kiddie version as well, that actually went down well with my 3 years old. Probably because he thought the scallops were "fiskbullar" - a cheap Swedish type of fish patty, usually sold in cans. It's served a lot in kindergartens and schools because it's so unexpensive, but most adults (me too) hate it. Well, whatever works works.
