Cooking Scallops is Easy

Sea scallops are sweet, tender, and delicate, with a buttery texture that caramelizes beautifully when seared.

Quick Prep Method

Ready in 6 minutes
  1. Pat scallops completely dry. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a pan over medium-high, add butter or oil, and cook scallops 1½–2 minutes per side without moving until golden.
  3. Remove from heat, add fresh lemon and herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

Storage

  • Keep frozen at -18°C (0°F) or lower until ready to use.
  • Avoid moisture exposure.
  • Store thawed product in the refrigerator (3°C) and consume within 4 days.

Thawing

  • Overnight: Puncture packaging and place in the refrigerator on a plate 8-10 hours before cooking.
  • Quick: Seal in a plastic bag and submerge in cold water for 20-30 minutes.

Tips

Scallops love a hot pan and minimal movement. Dry well, sear fast, and pull them as soon as they turn opaque - overcooking happens quickly.
