You are buying scallops that have been soaked in a soution of water and
phosphate. It is a common practice to plump them up. It is possible to by
'dry packed" scallops that have not been soaked. Try a different store.
Find a good seafood outlet if you can. We are fortunate to have a good one
in our small town. Prieces are higher than the s upermarket, but everything
is b etter quality and so much fresher.
