I ordered them (from
http://www.great-alaska-seafood.com/) and they were
packed well and delivered via FedEx on Tuesday. Packed securely in a foam
container along with 2 lbs. of Alaksan salmon I ordered.
I have been ill with the flu and haven't cooked anything for several days.
The seafood was still frozen but immediately went into the freezer. The
reusable cedar planks for the very nice thick red salmon fillets were
securely wrapped in very heavy plastic and it included a bottle of salmon
rub spices; these items are set aside until such time as I will (shortly)
give the salmon a try.
I will deliver a full report on the scallops after I cook the first pound of
them over the weekend using the Venetian Scallop recipe. I can tell you,
they certainly don't appear to be 'cookie-cutter' scallop pretenders; they
look to be very large sized sea scallops at a decent price. But it will be
the taste which determines it all. I will let you know.
