Diver scallops are hand-harvested by divers from the ocean floor, making them a more eco-friendly and sustainable option than dredged scallops. Because they are harvested individually, diver scallops tend to be larger and less gritty, with a sweet, clean taste. This harvesting method also ensures minimal impact on marine ecosystems.
According to Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch, "Diver scallops are a sustainable seafood choice, allowing consumers to enjoy premium quality while supporting eco-friendly practices."
Now that you know why diver scallops are a great choice, let’s explore some exciting ways to cook them!
Seared scallops are a restaurant favorite because the method brings out the best in these delicate seafood treats. The hot sear creates a golden, crispy crust while keeping the center tender and juicy.

Fresh scallops should be stored in the refrigerator and cooked within 1-2 days of purchase. If you need to freeze them, place scallops in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag to retain their flavor and texture.
The key to perfectly cooked scallops is to watch the cooking time carefully. Whether seared, grilled, or baked, scallops should only be cooked for a few minutes on each side. When they become opaque and firm, they’re done.
Dry scallops are untreated and have not been soaked in water or preservatives. They have a more concentrated flavor and are ideal for searing and grilling. Always opt for dry scallops for the best results.
