Thawing Scallops

The best way to thaw out scallops is to take them out of their packaging and place them on a tray or plate to thaw out overnight in the fridge. This way they defrost evenly, and you can even set them on a tea towel to soak up any excess water. If you're wanting to defrost them quickly you can take them out of the packaging and defrost them in a warm bowl of water. 

Save Some For Later

If you're only wanting to cook a partial pack of scallops you can easily refreeze the portion you're not wanting. When refreezing make sure they are in a freezer safe bag and air tight. Remember you don't want to refreeze any type of seafood that defrosted at room temperature.
