Fresh Queen Scallop Meat

Fresh Queen Scallop Meat

Australian queen scallops, shucked and sold chilled rather than frozen. Sweet, tender and ready to cook, they’re an easy way to put good seafood on the table any night of the week.

🌊 Why choose them

• Chilled, not frozen: no thawing, ready to cook straight from the fridge.
• Australian: queen scallops from Australian waters.
• Sweet and tender: a delicate, naturally sweet flavour.
• Ready to cook: already shucked, no prep needed.

🍳 How to cook

• Pan-seared: pat dry, then sear in a hot pan until golden outside and just opaque inside.
• Garlic butter: sear, then finish with butter, garlic and parsley.
• Steamed with vermicelli and garlic: a Cantonese classic.
• Stir-fried: with asparagus or snow peas, added towards the end.
• Pasta and risotto: stir through at the end so they don’t overcook.

💡 Cooking tip: Scallops cook quickly. Take them off the heat as soon as they turn opaque, or they’ll go tough.

❄️ Storage: Keep refrigerated at 0–4°C and cook as soon as possible after purchase. If you won’t use them in time, freeze them on the day you buy them. Don’t refreeze after thawing.
