Have you ever tried to bake any kind of seafood? The several different baked seafood are very delicious instead of frying sea food as usualy most of people do.
Baked stuffed scallops is one of those dishes. When you fry the scallops you get a nice crusty outside and a soft moist center. But this is fattening and don’t leave them in the oil to long or they will get dried out. Baking them instead will make them come out the way they should be done. Rather than serve them as as the usual side dish for other seafood, consider serving them to the family as a delicious baked entree.
Plus it’s alot healthier than the oil. Take some time to gain knowledge of how to bake scallops and so you won’t be frustrated when you take that first bite. Fresh bay scallops are small, round, sweet and delicious seafood. They are usually white or yellowish in color. I believe they turn a yellowish if they have sat too long, because they are usually white. You can saut them, fry them, put them in salads, or pretty much anything you can think of, they are that versatile. There are larger scallops (sea scallops with herbes), but they are usually 4-5 times bigger and are not as versatile as these little gems.
Also, the price difference at the grocery store is significan’t. The sea scallops are around $9:99 per pound, but you can enjoy the bay scallops for anywhere from $2.99 a pound (and you get a lot) up to $6.99 a pound. These food items are good for and taste great all with a Huge savings. Why wouldn’t you choose these items and reap the rewards. So get some and really enjoy a treat from the ocean. we are planning for a summer season tour this year,since my son is very interested to see sea scallops I am interested to go where it is available He might not like sea scallops after seeing them alive, so I am worried, but we will see how it happens.
Does anybody know of aquariums or touch tanks where we can view these aquatic creatures? We expect to travel within America and I would want to teach my son about these water critters, however, I am not sure where to begin. All I really know about scallops is that they have a lot of blue, glowing eyes. But then, I have only seen a picture of sea scallops once and it was in an old issue of the National Georaphic magazine. Does anybody have any good websites about the habitats or habits of live sea scallops? It is not always easy to find what you are looking for online. When I did my search for information on sea scallops, a lot of the websites that came up were most definitely not family-friendly.
