Scoop out the smoked cod, ensuring no skin is included for a smooth texture.

Add crushed garlic, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of salt to the cod.

Carefully add liquids to the mixture to avoid splitting, mixing until it resembles mayonnaise.

Prepare the scallops by gently opening them with a knife and removing the muscle.

Blanch the crab claws and crack them without smashing them to pieces.

Heat olive oil in a pan and cook the scallops until done.
