Scallops

Here are some top tips when specifying your Scallops…

Sometimes the products offered in the market place, coming either frozen or fresh, cheaper. However, when you start cooking them, the Scallop shrinks, and the added water comes out of it and remains in the pan.

On top of being ‘soaked’ frozen Scallops can also carry excessive glaze of up to 50%!

Soaked or wet

‘Soaked’ or ‘Wet’ Scallops tend to ‘poach’ when cooked

Soaked

‘Soaked’ means left in a polyphosphate solution which makes them absorb water and swell up. Some suppliers can carry up to 50% added water!

Non-soaked

M&J ‘non soaked’ or ‘dry’ Scallops cook up perfectly!
