What it is
These are plump, sweet sea scallops, carefully selected for their firm texture and delicate flavor. Each scallop is expertly wrapped in savory strips of cured pork bacon, creating a classic appetizer or entrée component. The combination offers a delightful contrast of oceanic sweetness and smoky, salty richness. They are pre-portioned for convenience.

To prepare, simply cook the scallops until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are opaque and cooked through. They can be pan-seared in a hot skillet with a little oil or butter, baked in the oven until golden brown, or even grilled for a smoky char. Be mindful of the cooking time, as scallops cook quickly and can become tough if overdone. The bacon will render its fat, helping to cook the scallop and add flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain scallops, these are enhanced with the savory depth of bacon. This pre-wrapping saves preparation time and ensures an even distribution of bacon around the scallop, providing a consistent flavor profile with every bite. The bacon also helps to keep the scallops moist during cooking.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick yet impressive dish will find these scallops very useful.
How to keep the rest
Keep any unused portion refrigerated in its original packaging or an airtight container. For best quality, consume within one to two days of opening. Ensure they remain chilled until ready for cooking to maintain freshness and food safety.
