Cooking Tip

Selecting Scallops

Purchase scallops from a reputable fish monger. Fresh scallops perish quickly and usually are shelled washed and flash frozen to preserve. The flesh of all scallops should be white and firm and the smell should be slightly sweet and never have an “off” odor.

Cooking Tip

Bay Scallops

Bay scallops look like miniature sea scallops and usually appear translucent with a subtle sheen. Bay scallops are often shucked before being sold, but can occasionally be found in their shells, a sign of freshness.
