About Bay scallops

Bay scallops are small, tender mollusks prized for their delicate sweetness and low calorie content. Native to shallow coastal waters of the Atlantic, they play a prominent role in seafood dishes across American, European, and Asian cuisines. Rich in lean protein, bay scallops are an excellent choice for muscle development and overall health. They also provide essential nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain function, heart health, and energy production. Bay scallops are naturally low in fat and carbohydrates, making them ideal for weight-conscious diets. However, they can be high in cholesterol, so moderate consumption is recommended, especially for those managing heart health. These versatile shellfish are typically sautéed, grilled, or incorporated into soups, stews, and pasta dishes, enhancing any meal with their subtle flavor and impressive nutritional profile.
