BAY SCALLOPS WATER ADDED WLD

Discover the sweet, delicate taste of wild bay scallops, a prized seafood delicacy that brings restaurant-quality dining to your home kitchen. These small, tender mollusks are harvested from coastal waters and offer the pure, briny sweetness that seafood lovers crave. Bay scallops are significantly smaller than their sea scallop cousins, typically measuring about half an inch across, making them perfect for dishes where you want multiple pieces per serving. Their naturally sweet flavor and tender texture make them incredibly versatile for both quick weeknight meals and elegant entertaining. These scallops cook rapidly, usually requiring just 2-3 minutes per side in a hot pan, making them ideal for busy home cooks. The "water added" designation indicates these scallops have been processed with added water to help preserve freshness during transport and storage. These wild-caught scallops shine in a variety of culinary applications, from classic American preparations like scallop risotto and pasta dishes to Asian stir-fries and seafood fried rice. They're particularly popular in New England cuisine, where they're often featured in creamy chowders or simply pan-seared with butter and herbs. For best results, pat the scallops dry before cooking to achieve a beautiful golden sear. They pair wonderfully with bacon, citrus, garlic, and fresh herbs like thyme or parsley. Whether you're preparing a sophisticated scallop ceviche, adding them to seafood paella, or creating a simple garlic butter preparation, these bay scallops deliver exceptional taste and convenience for any seafood dish.
