Fresh scallops, a treat for seafood enthusiasts, can be frozen for up to three months if prepared correctly. To retain flavor and texture, it’s essential to remove as much air as possible during the freezing process. Seafood expert Russell Kook recommends freezing scallops flat in either Cryovac or airtight freezer-safe bags. Quick rinsing and thorough drying of scallops before storage are crucial for preventing dirt and moisture. Properly executed, this method guarantees delicious scallops even after extended storage.
To retain freshness, remove air during storage; freeze scallops flat in a Cryovac bag to prevent freezer burn and preserve delicate texture.
Proper preparation is key: rinse the scallops in cold water, dry thoroughly, and single-layer them in a freezer-safe bag for optimal freezing.
