I get my scallops from Primefish, they're the best I've found but they're expensive. Most frozen scallops are wet packed with phosphates that ruin any chance of a good sear. Primefish's are dry packed

Have used them to add to crawfish boils. Really good for that. Usually get the big bag from Costco.

I would think most if not all that you buy in a store have been previously frozen.

How do you know if they are dry packed?

Look to make sure there are no phopshates in the ingredient list.

Primefish explicitly states

Ultra-premium grade "dry" scallops that ship flash frozen in 1lb bags.

I have a craving for them tonight. If the ingredients simply list the scallop, then I can assume it was dry packed? Thanks.

That sounds awesome! at what point in the boil do you add them? i might have to steal this idea.

When you kill the fire. At the point where some people throw in ice.

I will be trying this when I can afford to boil some crawfish. Lol They would have to be really tasty coming out of that season of water.

A bag of diver scallops at Costco seems to be around $40, so the crawfish might be cheaper

I have gotten the frozen bag scallops twice and both times I couldn’t eat them.

I usually don’t get off-put by stuff like that but for some reason whether it was coincidence or mental I just found them extremely fishy smelling. We eat scallops from the seafood case often and I’m sure it’s the same product
