Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Begin by selecting the freshest scallops from a reputable seafood market. Store them in the coldest part of your refrigerator, ideally in the seafood compartment.
  2. 2. To maintain the scallops' delicate texture and flavor, keep them dry and sealed in an airtight container. This will prevent any moisture from affecting their taste.
