As discussed above, wild caught Bay Scallops from Florida's Gulf coast are not only abundant but available frozen year-round. In addition, prices are very reasonable.
As delicious as they are, larger sea scallops bring eating experiences up another notch. Their larger size allows slightly longer searing without overcooking and are juicier, more moisture.
Prepare the same as bay scallops shown above. However, reserve all juices when scallops are removed from their package.
Dust with seasoned flour and quick sear brown. Flip once. Scallops should be cooked until still slightly translucent or just barely cooked through. Scallops wil continue cooking slightly while resting.
