Scallops have been in the freezer 6 months !

I've read that they have to be used within two months. Does that mean I have to throw these beautys in the bin! ! What a crying shame ;-(

No. Don't throw them away. We have had scallops in the freezer for up to a year, and still as good as the day they were put in there. When we get them, we put them in the freezer straight away and they keep so well.

The chart on the inside of my freezer door says 0 to 3 months for seafood. Not sure if that means you shouldn't eat them or not.

Yay, Thankyou! I guess the worst thing to happen is we spit them out, but worth the risk! Yum!

cates07. as susieq9 has said they will be fine. try this with them.
Use the whole scallop and roe.but pricking the roe.
Dry your scallop and place in a plastic bag. Add Masterfoods Cajun seasoning a little flour and a sprinkle of salt and some white pepper. Gentle shake and turn. shake off excess and onto a hot plate and drizzle over extra virgin olive oil and toss. As they cook, add a good squeeze of lemon juice and cook till nicely done/browned.
Devour.!
