Frozen scallops in a bag

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.

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

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

I know it's just me, but I read the thread title to the tune of "Pulling mussels (from the shell)"

Scallops are extremely perishable and are almost always distributed frozen and thawed for market display. Buying frozen yourself will probably get you better product. In BTR, Calandros and Maxwells often have large frozen bags "in the back freezer" and will sell you a few on request. There are lots of sea scallops imported, but they are usually good quality.
