Grilling scallops is a skill that you can master. There are many ways to prepare these delicious seafood dishes. There are some things you need before you can start. Here are some tips to get the best grilling results. The hot grill will render your scallops tender and juicy. Just be sure to leave them on the grill for two to three minutes per side. If they remain stuck on the grill, place them on the other side of the grill. Eventually, the grill marks will loosen them and allow them to slide off of the grates.

Use a high-smoke oil for best grilling results. Oils that are high in smoke point can include olive, canola and avocado. You can also make butter from oil. Scallops can also be enhanced with fresh herbs or garlic. Make sure to soak your wooden skewers in water before you start grilling. You will need grill gloves and metal tongs to turn the scallop skewers.


When choosing a scallop, choose a high-quality scallop. Scallops come in both dry and wet forms. Preservatives are applied to wet scallops. This affects their flavor and texture. Fresh scallops are the best choice as they have the smoothest texture and the uniform pearly white color. Avoid scallops with obvious damage and blemishes. They are usually not of the best quality and may be considered old.


Cooking Tips

If you are looking for scallops, make sure they come in dry packaging. They should smell salty. They may have been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate if they appear milky. These scallops are more heavy than those that are not, and therefore are more costly. Purchase US-caught scallops whenever possible. Avoid buying imported scallops as they can lead to unfair labor practices and environmental damage. Pay attention to the label when buying scallops and make sure that you only purchase the best.

Season the scallops liberally with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Place the scallops on the grill grates, season side down. Cook for approximately four minutes. Flip the scallops over with a thin, flat fish spatula. Finish grilling the scallops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. After grilling, serve immediately. While grilling, do not forget to serve lemon wedges for dipping.
