Tips for Preparing Scallops 

Scallops are a popular appetizer, but the versatile seafood works well in a variety of dishes. Weathervane scallops have a sweet, mild flavor, which means we don’t recommend overwhelming the fish with too many ingredients. To make the most of their delicate flavor, quickly pan sear them until they are browned and lightly crusted on the outside. The middle should remain tender. To better taste their natural flavor, serve with a lightly flavored sauce, like white wine, herb, or lemon-butter.

Of course, many scallop preparations include more decadent ingredients. Bacon-wrapped scallops are famous party appetizers, and brown sugar glazes are becoming increasingly popular. This is a very adaptable seafood, which means it can be prepared to suit nearly any taste.

If you have Weathervane scallops delivered from Lummi Island Wild, we want to caution you against overcooking. Scallops have a tendency to get tough and rubbery if exposed to too much heat. Just keep an eye on the burner and on your clock and you should be all set.

Handling Instructions – Weathervane Scallops 

The Weathervane scallops delivered from Lummi Island Wild are frozen together in one solid 1.25 lb block. They are then sawed while still frozen into smaller 6 oz blocks to retain the highest quality and naturally fresh flavor of the scallops. Because of this method, each package contains 8-12 whole scallops and some cut pieces. If you want to enjoy the scallops when they arrive, let them thaw before cooking.  If you prefer to wait, they will remain good to eat in your freezer for up to three months.
