Sweet Bay Scallops, Frozen for Convenience

Our bay scallops come in frozen and typically run about 60 scallops per pound. They are small, tender and very sweet - perfect for adding to any seafood chowder, pasta or casserole. A one-pound bag is $11.99.

Bay Scallops vs. Sea Scallops

Bay scallops are much smaller than sea scallops and have a more delicate, sweet flavor. They cook in a minute or two, which makes them ideal for quick weeknight dishes. If you want large scallops to sear as a main course, choose our jumbo dry scallops instead.

How to Cook Bay Scallops

• Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, or place the sealed bag in cold water for about 30 minutes.
• Pat dry, then saute in butter over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes until just opaque.
• Stir into chowder or soup during the last few minutes of cooking.
• Toss with garlic, lemon and linguine, or bake with bread crumbs for a simple scallop casserole.

Storage

Keep frozen until ready to use. Once thawed, cook within a day and do not refreeze.

Make a Seafood Chowder

Combine bay scallops with Boston cod or fresh haddock and a handful of white shrimp for a rich New England-style chowder. Find everything in our seafood shop and have it delivered with Rochester home delivery.
