10-15 minutes is perfect if you want to remove some of the natural brininess from the scallops without affecting their texture too much. It can also help them tenderize slightly.

I find that marinating scallops in milk for about 15-20 minutes really enhances their flavor and makes them tender. It helps to balance out any potential fishy taste and gives a subtle sweetness. Have you tried this method before?

Great question! I usually soak scallops in milk for about 30 minutes.
