Have you ever tried to bake any kind of seafood? There are numerous special types of seafood that are fairly luscious when baked instead of the typical frying that most people do.

Baked scallops is one of those dishes. When you fry the scallops you get a nice crusty outside and a soft moist center. But this can be calorific and at times if you leave them in the oil too long, they get dried out. By baking them instead, you stand a much better chance of having them come out the exact way they should be done. For an awesome entree for the family you can try baking the scallops instead of using them as a side dish with other fish.

Plus it’s alot healthier than the oil. Take some time to learn how to bake scallops and you won’t be dissappointed when you take that first bite. Bay scallops are small, round, sweet and delicious seafood. They are usually white or yellowish in color. I believe they turn a yellowish if they have sat too long, because they are usually white. They are made so many different ways. You can put them in salads or fry them up or even saute them. There are larger scallops (cooking sea scallops), but they are usually 4-5 times bigger and are not as versatile as these little gems.

Also, the price difference at the grocery store is significan’t. Bay scallops are cheaper than sea scallops, costing between $2.99 and $6.99 per pound, compared to $9.99 per pound. This is a vast nest egg and you still reap the rewards of a great tasting and good for you food item. So get some and really enjoy a treat from the ocean. we are planning for a summer season tour this year,since my son is very interested to see sea scallops I am interested to go where it is available I’m a bit concerned, as he may not like sea scallops on the plate after he’s seen them live, but I suppose we’ll just have to see what happens.

Does anybody know of aquariums or touch tanks where we can view these aquatic creatures? I’m not sure where to start about teaching my son about these water critters, but we want to travel within the USA. All I really know about scallops is that they have a lot of blue, glowing eyes. But then, I have only seen a picture of sea scallops once and it was in an old issue of the National Georaphic magazine. Does anybody have any good websites about the habitats or habits of live sea scallops? Finding information on the internet can be difficult. My search for sea scallops turned up many sites that I wouldn’t even want my son to see.
