Scallop Recipes
Scallops are a popular type of seafood and you can find so many scallop recipes, as you can see right below in our list of recipes.
How to Cook Scallops:
Scallops can be prepared in different ways, including sautéing, grilling, broiling, baking and stir-frying. However, when cooking scallops, you should take care not to overcook them, in order to keep the delicate texture and moisture. Pay special attention when cooking
bay scallops because they are smaller and can easily overcook becoming though. Cook scallops for about 4-5 minutes,
they are done when they turn opaque (losing their translucence) and firm.
When preparing a recipe with scallops, keep in mind that you can very well substitute bay scallops for sea scallops and the other way around as well
fresh scallops for frozen scallops. If you have difficulties finding a specific type, just use the one you could find and
enjoy your favorite scallop recipe.

Some general information about Scallops:
You can find two basic types of scallops: bay scallops and sea scallops. The sea scallops are larger and more widely
available than the bay scallop. Because the bay scallops are less abundant, they are more expensive than the sea scallops.
Usually you get around 30 sea scallops in one pound, while you get 50-90 bay scallops in one pound.

Scallops can be bought fresh or frozen (usually available year-round). When selecting fresh scallops, they should have a sweet smell and a fresh, moist sheen (see Buying Tips). Sea scallops have creamy white and sometimes slightly orange meat,
bay scallop meats are white with some pink coloration.
The meat of the bay scallop is sweeter, more succulent and tender than the meat of the sea scallop, therefore they can
be tastier.
