Jumbo Dry Sea Scallops
-
This item is currently not available
Our jumbo dry sea scallops are harvested off the cold waters of Massachusetts and Maine, where dedicated rotational fishing ensures scallop beds are never over-fished. Family-owned fisheries use traditional diving and trawling methods to haul in our exquisite scallop crop. These are not your ordinary grocery store scallops. Our scallops are jumbo with only 15 pieces per pound, rarely seen outside of restaurant kitchens. Shucked and individually quick frozen at sea without any artificial preservatives or chemicals, allows D’Artagnan scallops to preserve the same freshness as if they came right out of the ocean. Dry scallops – meaning they are never soaked in chemical additives designed to maintain texture and taste – offer the best quality, flavor and firm texture, and won’t shed excess water and weight while cooking.

Cooking Tips:
There are two ways to thaw scallops safely: 1) Slowly in the fridge for about 24 hours per pound. 2) Quickly in a colander in the sink under cold running water. Never thaw at room temperature, and never in warm water.
Scallops can be enjoyed simply: pan-seared in butter with nothing but salt and pepper. Scallops can also be baked, sautéed, grilled, boiled or steamed. Take care not to cook too long.
