Handling
Frozen Swimming Scallops can crack and break if handled roughly while frozen. Do not crush or drop cases.
Storing
Frozen Swimming Scallops can be stored up to 12 months at -28 C. The double ice glaze applied after they are individually quick frozen eliminates "freezer burn".
Frozen Swimming Scallops steamed
four minutes with garlic, ginger, onions,
red bell pepper, tomatoes, and
served over rice noodles.
Cooking
Swimming Scallops are cooked frozen. DO NOT THAW prior to cooking. Do not remove mantle. Swimming Scallops are cooked and served like mussels.
Steam frozen scallops in steam, boiling water, or broth for 3 - 4 minutes. Once the shells open, the scallops are ready for eating. While cooking turn the contents of the pot so the scallops on the bottom can be free of the weight of the scallops on top and can therefore open up.
