Small bay baby scallops
I have a pound of frozen bay scallops SeaBest brand. This is not my first rodeo. It says thaw. Got it. It says do not over cook. There is so much water to leach out that they are never not over cooked. I will fry in butter only to dump a cup of fluid then add butter or whatever. What is the right way to cook these little scallops?
I want a maple finish but no way to not over cook. Wtf am i doing wrong? |

I love my seafood and am fairly knowledgeable and you started wrong, never buy those 'baby' scallops, they are useless. I tried some frozen scallops recently. Allowed them to unthaw in a sieve over a basin. When unfrozen I heated a cast iron pan, dropped in butter so it spattered, added scallops, turned perhaps once and in about 3 minutes, removed from heat and gobbled them down Don't overcook. Personally I never add any spices etc. scallops have a gentle flavour and its all too easy to mask it. |

Here what i did. Thawed then pan cooked slow with 2 tbs butter. Dumped the ridiculous water off. Returned to the pan with 2 more tbs salted butter, added pre cooked bacon pulled apart by hand. Simmered to allow the butter to melt, added sweet red bell pepper. Added a good dump of maple. Simmered. It is good as a stand alone but i would never be proud of it to cook for guests.
The large sea scallops are better but cost twice. I will pay twice for better next time. |

Better to have large scallops once than those baby scallops twice urgggh! Don't add maple as that will overwhelm the delicate scallop flavour. |

What I did is tasty for sure but it was just to use them. The maple was good to me.

What do you mean you "boil them"? Surely you don't add them to water. Frozen thawed scallops, if not drained, contain lots of water. Jill |

What is the right way to cook these little scallops? > I want a maple finish but no way to not over cook. Wtf am i doing wrong? First of all. Look on the package...large or small, you want dry packed. The "wet packed" has a chemical added to make them absorb water before being frozen. This increases the weight with water and they can charge more. Bay scallops (the small ones) are actually superior as they are just young ones and very tender. Think eating lamb vs mutton. They taste just as good as the large, older sea scallops. Either ones can be sold dry or wet packed. One mistake people make cooking the small ones is trying to cook too many at once. Long story short, I've made the mistake of cooking scallops (both sizes) in browned butter with flavoring added - like lemon and garlic. Best to sear them in a screaming hot pan in a nip of plain oil, not butter. Then after they're cooked drizzle a bit of a sauce made from browned butter, garlic and lemon for example over them or on the side. For the super tender and tiny bay scallops, best way to cook them is to put them on a skewer and place right over the hottest part of your grill or right underneath a broiler. The extra water won't be a problem. Once cooked, just a drizzle of whatever glaze or sauce on top. Go easy though. As Lucretia said, they are tasty just plain. |

I've never seen small Bay scallops you could a put skewer through, they are just tiny rubbish. The most I might use them for is chowder, along with plenty of haddock and other fish. |

I would dump the scallops in boiling water for less than a minute and then drain and sauce it up with a mix of mayo and Sriracha. Alternatively, you could drain the scallops as best you can and add an acid such as lime juice and let it set a while and then sauce it up with a mix of mayo and Sriracha.. What's getting popular over here is scallops served Japanese style - this includes the mantle part of the scallop but not the guts. It's less boring than regular scallop. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared...DfzHTljn2-rM_U |

I spent the summer of 72 with a family that used NO salt ever for health reasons. Woman was a great cook but with absolutely no salt or substitute, her meals were so bland to me at first. I never snuck in salt I just ate as they did. By end of summer, I was cured of the salt thing and all food tasted great. When I moved back home I rarely used salt but slowly it all came back after several months and eventually I was salt-boy again. |

I only buy them when on sale for about 79 cents per pound and often less. Bruce think these are mistreated chickens sold so cheap. He doesn't understand about grocery sales and loss leaders. I know a grocery store butcher. She told me that those cheap sales are sold at a loss of profit, (sold at cost or even less than cost) just to bring people in then they buy other profitable things while there. |

My only point there was that the cheap on sale chicken is no worse than the expensive chicken (at grocery stores) as far as raising conditions. All deplorable. One would think though that the mistreated ones might welcome death more readily vs the free range happy ones just grabbed by the neck and killed. You mentioned that you have chickens. Do you eat them? Your meat problem seems to be about the living conditions with commercial meat but you probably raise yours all happy and stuff. You done turned all yours into pets, didn't you? :-D I suppose eggs are all ok there as long as you don't have a rooster. Then we have the abortion issue. |

Then we have the abortion issue. We have 2 roosters. We found that chickens live longer if they walk around with a rooster. The hens seem to be kind of oblivious to danger, whereas the rooster's constantly on the lookout. |
