Get your fill of wild-caught sea scallops from Marine Stewardship Council-certified sustainable fisheries today, Friday, June 10th, during our one-day sale. Only $9.99 per pound! (That's while supplies last...no rain checks.) Our seafood expert says these scallops are incredibly flavorful — "second to none!" They are individually frozen at sea within hours of being harvested, which is really unique.

Need some ideas on how to cook these delicate morsels? Here are a few of our favorites:
  • Pair them with fruit; citrus, mango, papaya, veggie and/or fruit salsas all work great. Here is a recipe for Grilled Pineapple and Scallops Teriyaki and here’s another for Seared Scallops with Blood Oranges and Smoked Paprika Sauce.
  • Serve seared or grilled over a bed of leafy greens tossed with light vinaigrette.
  • Turn scallops into an appetizer like we did with Sautéed Scallops and Tomatoes on Garlic Toast.
  • Toss cooked scallops into hot pasta or add to simmering tomato sauce just before serving.
  • Serve over hot cooked rice, or make Seafood Paella with Crab and Sugar Snap Peas.
  • Gently poach in water or broth. Drain and marinate in favorite vinaigrette until well chilled. Serve with romaine lettuce, lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit slices.
  • Coat with a mixture of flour, salt, pepper, herbs and seasonings. Pan sear in butter or olive oil and serve garnished with fresh minced parsley and a wedge of lemon.
    • Let us know what you cook with your scallops!
