IMHO it's better to buy the flash frozen bagged scallops than wonder how
long those (thawed) scallops have been sitting on ice at the seafood
counter. I don't live in an area where scallops are fished.

Unless I buy them with an immediate plan to cook them, I usually
re-package and freeze them. I certainly don't want to re-freeze
previously frozen scallops. Texture and taste tends to suffer.
