We always seek out dry scallops, which will sear and caramelize better. Ask your fishmonger before you buy—it really makes a difference. To make them easier to grill, we thread the scallops onto sets of two skewers, not one, so they don't spin around willy-nilly when you pick them up. Then hang the skewers off the edge of the grill so you can pick them up with your (gloved) hands—no need for tongs.
