I've frozen scallops before (washed but unshucked). They weren't in the freezer for more than a week though..... You can freeze abalone, but they should be shucked and cleaned first. I don't know for how long, but I would imagine that it would be 3 or so months at max (same as most other seafood)? As always, the quicker its frozen the better it comes out thawed.... and they're never as good frozen as fresh (IMO). |

Both freeze fine. Shuck and clean well. I vac seal mine and have frozen up to year no worries. Don't no why u would freeze an ab or scallop in its shell, waste of freezer space. If you don't have a vac sealer use gladwrap and layer parcels of meat into an empty ice cream container or similar |

I froze Abs whole. Put a piece of baking paper underneath and wrapped in Gladwrap. Chuck them in the freezer. Once you need them, defrost, clean and then they are actually quite tender already without needing to bash em. up to 3 months is what I found online. *didn't think you were allowed to clean them before you froze them, had to stay whole until consumption |
