Fried scallops are a delicious seafood dish with roots in coastal cuisines, particularly popular in American, Asian, and Mediterranean culinary traditions. These bite-sized morsels are made from fresh scallops, coated in seasoned flour, breadcrumbs, or batter, then deep-fried or pan-fried until golden-brown and crispy. Scallops are naturally low in fat and calories and rich in essential nutrients like protein, vitamin B12, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. However, frying adds significant fat and calories due to the oil used in preparation, which may reduce its overall health benefits if consumed frequently. When paired with fresh vegetables or whole grains, fried scallops can be part of a balanced meal, offering a flavorful combination of textures and nutrients. For a healthier twist, try air-frying or lightly sautéing scallops instead of deep frying.
