I am fortunate to live by the ocean right now so I always use fresh scallops - never cooked with frozen - I would therefore suggest thawing them first. Let me know how it goes as I will soon be in the midwest with no ocean!!

When we lived in NJ-at the shore-we would get fresh scallops right off the fishing boats.

Now that we're here I buy frozen and defrost them, usually by putting in cold water, drain them and dry on paper towels. You could also defrost overnight in refrig.

Having always had the luck to live on the east coast and having fresh, delicious seafood it is a big change for us living in MN.

Are the scallops fresh at Cosco or previously frozen and thawed or frozen when you get them there?

Sounds yummy!! Please share your recipe! Every dinner I have made that you have suggested has turned out great---this will be just one more I am sure!

[kshe95girl]

cyn, this is a really different one, and soooooooo good, will post a couple more, too......

3/4 lb angel-hair pasta
1 1/2 lb bay scallops or quartered sea scallops, tough muscle removed from side of each if necessary
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon, or to taste




Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
While pasta is cooking, pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté half of scallops, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Cook remaining scallops in remaining 3 tablespoons butter in same manner. Return first batch of scallops to skillet and stir in lime juice and tarragon. Toss pasta in a bowl with half of scallops and 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Top pasta with remaining scallops and sauce and season with salt and pepper.

Tarragon-love it and I've only used it in chicken dishes and fresh peas. Have to try this-thank you Kshe.
