About Scallops, bay, Patagonian, frozen, wild caught

Scallops are a prized shellfish, the tender, sweet adductor muscle of a fan-shelled marine mollusk, beloved in fine dining and home kitchens alike. They come mainly as large, meaty sea scallops and smaller, delicate bay scallops, both with a pale, creamy color and a mild, subtly sweet, almost nutty flavor. Scallops are lean and low in fat, offering high-quality protein, vitamin B12, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.

The key to cooking them is speed and dryness: patted dry and seared in a hot pan, they develop a beautiful golden crust in just a minute or two per side, while overcooking turns them rubbery. They are also broiled, grilled, or served raw as sashimi and crudo. Choose scallops that look moist and ivory with a fresh, sweet sea smell, and store them well chilled in the refrigerator, using them within a day or freezing them.
