How should I handle and cook whole scallops in shell?

Authentic Preparation: Delivered whole and intact in their shell. You can shuck them easily at home with a scallop knife or bake/grill them whole until the shell pops open naturally.

Cooking Suggestions: Pry open, remove the top shell and dark outer membrane, leave the sweet white meat and roe attached to the bottom shell, add garlic butter and herbs, and grill or roast at 200°C for 6 to 8 minutes.

Pro Tip: Do not overcook to maintain their juicy, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
How should I store and freeze whole scallops?

Chilled Delivery: Arrives safely at your UK home under strict 0°C to 2°C temperature-controlled conditions in specialized insulated packaging.

Refrigeration: Keep in the coldest part of your fridge (0°C to 2°C) and consume within 2 days of delivery for peak ocean freshness.

Home Freezing: Delivered fresh and never commercially frozen. If freezing, shuck the meat from the shell first, rinse, pat dry, wrap securely, and freeze for up to 2–3 months.
Are these scallops delivered whole or already cleaned?

They are delivered 100% whole in their natural shells (unshucked). This locks in ultimate natural sea juices and guarantees peak freshness upon arrival.

How many whole scallops are in a 1kg pack?

As this is a natural product, shell sizes vary, but a 1kg pack typically contains approximately 6 to 8 large whole king scallops.

Is this product delivered fresh or frozen?

They are delivered 100% fresh and chilled on ice at 0°C to 4°C. They have never been commercially frozen, giving you full flexibility to prepare them fresh or freeze the shucked meat at home.
