how long does it take to fry scallops
Confidence votes 1.6K. Assuming you have your frying oil at 350 degrees, it should only take 2 - 3 minutes each to deep fry scallops. If they are frozen, be sure and defrost them first before cooking to get even cooking throughout the scallop. Before frying, make sure to pat them dry with a paper towel to remove all the water on the surface.
