Scallops

Dipping Sauces

Fries (optional)

Method

Prepare the Scallops

1

Clean the Scallops

Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the batter adhere better.

2

Season the Scallops

In a bowl, sprinkle the scallops with Mr. & Mrs. Crab Special Seasoning and toss gently to coat. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.

Batter the Scallops

3

Prepare the Breading Station

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with a pinch of salt.

4

Batter the Scallops

Dip each seasoned scallop first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each scallop is evenly coated.

Fry the Scallops

5

Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6

Fry the Scallops

Carefully add the battered scallops to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.

7

Drain the Scallops

Once fried, remove the scallops using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Prepare the Fries (optional)

8

Cook the Fries

If using frozen French fries, prepare them according to package instructions, typically by baking or frying until golden and crispy.

Serve

9

Plate the Dish

Arrange the fried scallops on a serving platter. Serve with cocktail sauce and tartar sauce on the side. If prepared, add the fries alongside.
