A month or so ago I bought a bag of flash frozen scallops at Costco upon
the recommendation of someone here. They were delicious. We kind of
pigged out on them and had two good feeds for two. The next time we will
be a little more judicious with the servings.

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.
