I've always been a bit nervous buying scallops from the store and I think that part of the reason is because I never knew what to look for. So, sometimes I would take a few home and they would turn out perfect while other times they would end up turning into a disintegrated mess. Well, I finally found out what to look for when buying scallops to ensure that you will have the best possible luck in the kitchen. 1. Always buy fresh scallops.
2. Look for scallops that have been packed in dry ice. When they are packed in ordinary ice or water the scallops absorb the water. Then later when you cook them the water is released into the pan and you end up steaming them more than searing. So, you don't get that delicious sear.
3. Only buy bright white scallops! If they are grayish or have pink spots just walk away.
