About Scallop

Scallops are tender, succulent shellfish prized in cuisines worldwide, particularly in French, Japanese, and Mediterranean cooking. Known for their subtly sweet flavor and delicate texture, scallops are a lean source of high-quality protein, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious seafood option. They are rich in essential nutrients like vitamin B12, phosphorus, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and a strong immune system. Scallops are naturally low in fat and calories, making them a guilt-free indulgence. However, preparation methods like frying or heavy cream-based sauces can increase their calorie and fat content, so grilling, baking, or steaming is recommended for a healthier approach. Enjoy scallops in a variety of dishes, from seared entrees to vibrant seafood salads, for a flavorful and nutritious meal.
