Scallop dishes are a celebrated part of seafood cuisine, renowned for their tender texture and sweet, delicate flavor. Commonly pan-seared, baked, or grilled, scallops are typically seasoned with herbs, garlic, and lemon, or paired with buttery sauces and fresh vegetables. Originating from coastal regions around the world, scallops feature prominently in French, Italian, and Asian culinary traditions. Rich in protein and low in fat, scallops are an excellent source of vitamins B12 and selenium, supporting energy metabolism and immune health. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health. While generally healthy, scallop dishes can become calorie-dense when cooked in excessive butter, cream-based sauces, or paired with heavy sides. Opting for lighter preparations, such as grilling with olive oil and herbs, can retain their nutritional benefits and complement their natural flavor while keeping calories in check.
